By: Elysia Cartlidge
Servings 1 serving
Starbucks passion tango tea is easy to make at home, and costs so much less! Make a large batch of tea to store in the fridge, then pour over ice. Or add a splash of lemonade for an extra special treat!
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces water
  • 1-2 Tazo Passion Herbal Tea *see notes for alternative
  • 1-2 teaspoons honey
  • Ice cubes
  • 4 ounces high quality lemonade, optional

Instructions

  • Boil water in a tea kettle or small pot. Place honey (to taste) and tea bags in a heat proof measuring cup or mug. Use 2 tea bags for a stronger tea. Pour boiling water over tea bags and allow to steep, covered, for 5 minutes. Stir. Remove tea bags and cool in the fridge until ready to use.
  • Fill a large glass with ice. Add lemonade if using, followed by the tea. Stir and serve immediately.

Notes

    •  If you aren't able to find the Tazo Passion tea, you can also use loose hibiscus tea.
    • Add honey to taste. You can also use any sugar or sugar substitute such as Stevia that you like, or omit the sweetener all together for a no sugar-added option.
    • For a lighter tea, use 1 bag. For stronger tea, use 2. I used two when developing this recipe. 
    • If using loose hibiscus tea: Place 1 teaspoon tea per ounce of water into a tea strainer, prepare as directed.
    • To make a large batch of concentrate: Boil 32 ounces of water, pour over 8-10 tea bags and steep 10 minutes. Cool completely. Add a little sweetener if desired, ice, a splash of water and lemonade to a large cup, followed by about 6 ounces of tea concentrate.
    • Honey does not tend to dissolve into cold liquids well. Add the honey while steeping the tea, or make a honey simple syrup. To make a honey simple syrup: Combine ½ cup boiling water with ½ cup honey, whisk well. Cool and store in the fridge, use as desired to sweeten drinks.
    • Lemonade is completely optional. We tested this recipe using Simply Lemonade, and Trader Joe’s. Lemonade does have added sugar, so adjust your sweetener level according to your preferences.
