In a big saucepan, start by boiling 4 cups of water. Remove the water from the heat once it has reached a rolling boil, then add 4 black tea bags. Allow the tea bags to steep for about 5 minutes to achieve a strong tea base. Remove the tea bags and let the brewed tea cool down to room temperature.
Step 2: Preparing The Passion Fruit
While the tea is cooling, prepare the passion fruit. Cut each passion fruit in half and scoop out the pulp and seeds into a bowl. The pulp and seeds are what you will use to infuse the tea with the fruit’s tangy flavor.
Step 3: Combining The Tea And Passion Fruit
Once the tea has cooled, pour it into a pitcher or jug. Add the passion fruit pulp and seeds to the tea, stirring gently to incorporate the flavors. You can adjust the amount of passion fruit according to your taste preference.
Step 4: Adding Sweetener (Optional)
The passion fruit iced tea can be made sweeter by adding honey or sugar. Start with a little quantity and gradually add more until the sweetness is to your liking. Stir well to ensure the sweetener dissolves completely.
