Easy Passion fruit and Lemonade Iced tea - Starbuck's copycat

This passion fruit & lemonade iced tea is definitely my favorite beverage! This will be my summer herbal iced tea. It is so good, isn't carbonated, no caffeine, and you control the sweetness. What could be better?

Why I love this Starbuck's copycat

I LOVE drinking Arnold Palmers in the summer. For those of you who don't know what that is, it's basically ½ iced tea, ½ lemonade, and some ice. Cold, refreshing and it says summer to me. BUT, I can't be drinking this all day. You see, there is caffeine in that tea and I need to limit my caffeine.

I was wandering the aisles at Target and was looking at the herbal tea section. Wow, there are some awesome teas available out there now!!

I picked two. But for my tea and lemonade, I chose Tazo Iced Passion tea. Be warned, this particular package has HUGE teabags and is meant to make pitchers of iced tea. It says so right on the box (if you actually read the package - oops).

Directions

So simple. I filled ⅓ of the pitcher with boiling water. Steeped the tea bag for about 5-6 minutes. Topped up the pitcher another ⅓ with your favorite lemonade. Then fill the rest of the container with ice. If you would like to garnish, I would suggest slices or wedges of lemonade. It looks sooooooo good!

Yummm!

For me, the lemonade adds enough sweetness to this beverage. Just like in an Arnold Palmer. However, if you want it sweeter, by all means, add a little sweetener. You really can't go wrong!!
