Things You’ll Need
- Medium-sized pot for making tea
- Strainer (for removing seeds)
- Pitcher
- Spoon for stirring
- Knife & cutting board
- ◯ 4 cups of water
- ◯ 2 passion fruits (or 1/2 cup of passion fruit pulp)
- ◯ Two bags of black or green tea
- ◯ 2 to 3 tablespoons of sugar or honey (to taste)
- ◯ ½ lemon, sliced (optional, for more tang)

How to Make Passion Fruit Tea
Step 1: Brew the Tea
Boil 4 glasses of water, then remove from heat and add the tea bags. Let it steep for 5 minutes. Remove tea bags and let cool.
Step 2: Prepare the Passion Fruit
Cut passion fruits in half and scoop out the pulp into a basin. If you don’t like the seeds, filter the juice.
Step 3: Mix Everything Together
In a pitcher, add the cooled tea, passion fruit pulp (strained or unstrained), and honey. Stir thoroughly.
Step 4: Serve on Ice
Fill glasses with ice cubes, pour the passion fruit tea over them, then add lemon slices and mint as a garnish. Have fun!
Helpful Tips
- Tea Choice Matters: Black tea has a stronger flavor, while green tea has a lighter, more floral flavor. Try them both!
- Add sugar or honey to taste. Start with little and add more as needed. Passion fruit is naturally sour!
- Strain It or Keep the Seeds? If you don’t like the crispy seeds, take them out before mixing.
- Chill for Best Flavor: To keep the tea from getting watered down, let it cool all the way down before adding ice.
- Add some fizz by replacing some of the water with sparkling water.
Substitutions & Variations
- No passion fruit? Use mango or pineapple juice for a similar tropical vibe.
- No honey? Swap with agave syrup, maple syrup, or simple syrup.
- Iced Tea Version – Brew a stronger tea, let it cool, then serve over ice.
- Milk Tea Twist – Add a dash of milk or coconut milk for a creamy variation.
Make-Ahead Tips
Brew the tea and blend with passion fruit in advance, then store it in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just add ice before serving!
Storing and Using Leftovers
Store leftover tea in the fridge for up to 2 days in a covered pitcher.
Give it a good swirl before serving, since the pulp may settle.
That’s it—easy, refreshing, and very wonderful!
