Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Black tea bags
- 2 cups Pineapple juice (unsweetened)
- 4 cups Water
- 3 tablespoons Honey (or sweetener of choice)
- 1 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 4 slices Pineapple slices (optional, for garnish)
- 4 sprigs Mint sprigs (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan.
Remove the saucepan from heat and add the black tea bags. Allow them to steep for 5 minutes, then remove and discard the tea bags.
Stir in the honey (or your preferred sweetener) until completely dissolved. Let the tea cool to room temperature.
Once the tea has cooled, pour it into a large pitcher and add the pineapple juice and fresh mint leaves.
Gently muddle the mint leaves in the pitcher with a wooden spoon to release their flavor without tearing them completely.
Refrigerate the pitcher for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
When ready to serve, fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the chilled pineapple mint tea over the ice.
Garnish each glass with a pineapple slice and a sprig of mint, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Pineapple Mint Iced Tea!
