Ingredients
  

4 cups water

3 black tea bags (or substitute with green tea for a lighter flavor)

1 ripe mango, peeled and diced

1 large passionfruit, halved and pulp scooped out

1/4 cup honey or agave syrup (adjust according to your sweetness preference)

Juice of 1 lime

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Ice cubes

Instructions
 

Boil Water: In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.

    Steep Tea: Once the water reaches a boil, remove the saucepan from heat. Add in the tea bags, ensuring they are submerged. Let them steep for 5-7 minutes, depending on your desired strength—longer steeping yields stronger tea.

      Prepare Fruit Puree: While the tea is steeping, take out your blender. Combine the diced mango and the scooped-out pulp from the passionfruit to create a smooth puree. If you prefer some texture, blend until just combined but still slightly chunky.

        Sweeten the Tea: After the tea has finished steeping, carefully remove the tea bags. While the tea is still warm, stir in the honey or agave syrup until fully dissolved, ensuring an even sweetness throughout.

          Combine Tea and Fruit Puree: In a large pitcher, pour in the sweetened tea, then add the mango and passionfruit puree along with the freshly squeezed lime juice. Stir thoroughly to ensure all flavors meld together beautifully.

            Chill: Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then place it in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours. This step not only cools the tea but also enhances the flavor profile as the ingredients have time to blend.

              Serve: To serve, fill each glass with ice cubes and pour the chilled Mango Passionfruit Iced Tea over the ice. For a delightful finishing touch, garnish with fresh mint leaves. You may also add a slice of lime or a few extra pieces of diced mango for an additional colorful accent.

                Enjoy: Sip this refreshing, fruity iced tea—it's the perfect antidote for hot summer days or anytime you seek a quick tropical getaway!
