Passion Tea Lemonade
Passion Tea Lemonade Starbucks copycat recipe
Ingredients
- 5 1/4 Cups Water, divided into 1/4 cup and 5 cups
- 4 Tazo Passion tea bags
- 1/4 Cup Honey, preferably local
- 4 inch Piece of lemongrass, finely chopped
- 2 small Cinnamon sticks
- 1/2 Cup Fresh lemon juice
- Ice cubes for serving
Instructions
- Bring four cups water to a rapid bowl in a teapot or saucepan. Remove from
heat and add tea bags. Allow tea bags to steep for several minutes
before discarding. - To prepare the infused simple syrup, combine a quarter cup water, honey,
lemongrass, and cinnamon sticks in a small saucepan and place over
medium heat. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until mixture is heated
through and starts to thicken, approximately 4-5 minutes. - Remove from heat and pour through a fine mesh strainer to separate the
solids from the liquid. Discard solids and set the remaining simple
syrup aside to cool. - Combine the brewed tea, lemon juice, and remaining cup of water in a large
pitcher. Add infused simple syrup, to taste, and stir to combine. - To serve, fill four chilled glasses with ice before adding the sweetened
iced tea mixture. Garnish with lemon slices and sprigs of fresh mint,
if using, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
