Pineapple pieces and lemon rounds for the final touch
# Method:
01 -
Boil some water and let the tea bags steep in it for around 5 minutes. Then, toss the tea bags and let the tea cool to room temp.
02 -
In the meantime, while your tea’s cooling, squeeze the lemons to get some fresh juice. If you’re working with fresh pineapple, get a cup of fresh juice by juicing or blending it. Strain if you want it silky smooth!
03 -
While the tea’s still a little warm, toss in honey or sugar and stir until it’s all melted. Take a little taste and tweak the sweetness if needed!
04 -
Once the tea has cooled, pour it into a big pitcher and mix in the pineapple juice plus your freshly squeezed lemon juice. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
05 -
Fill your glasses with some ice, pour in the juice blend, and top each one with lemon slices and chunks of pineapple if you'd like to dress it up a bit. Enjoy your refreshing drink!
