Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh pineapple juice
- 2 cups water
- 1 tablespoon loose-leaf rose tea or 2 rose tea bags
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- Ice cubes
- Fresh pineapple slices and rose petals for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by brewing the tea. Bring 2 cups of water to a gentle boil, then add the loose-leaf rose tea or tea bags. Allow it to steep for 5-7 minutes to let the floral notes fully develop.
- Meanwhile, prepare the pineapple juice. If you are using fresh pineapple, blend the chunks until smooth and then strain the juice to remove any pulp for a crisp and clean drink.
- Once the tea has steeped, remove the tea bags or strain the leaves. Let the tea cool to room temperature.
- In a large pitcher, combine the rose tea and pineapple juice. Add honey if you prefer a sweeter drink.
- Stir well and then chill the mixture in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
- When ready to serve, fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the chilled Pineapple Rose Tea over them.
- Garnish with fresh pineapple slices and a sprinkling of rose petals for an extra special touch.
Helpful Tips and Variations
- For a dairy-free alternative, you can sweeten the tea with agave syrup instead of honey.
- Serve the Pineapple Rose Tea in chilled glasses for an added layer of refreshment on hot days.
- Adjust the recipe to suit any occasion: add a splash of soda water for a fizzy version during parties or enjoy it warm for a cozy family evening.
Storage and Substitutions
- Any leftover Pineapple Rose Tea can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Give it a good stir before serving again.
- If fresh pineapple is not available, canned pineapple juice works well too. Just ensure it’s 100% juice with no added sugars.
Pairings and Complements
- Pair this refreshing drink with light snacks like cucumber sandwiches, fruit salad, or a delicate sponge cake.
- For a savory option, try it alongside a cheese platter or crispy spring rolls.
- This drink complements desserts such as lemon bars, coconut macaroons, or a gentle vanilla pudding.
