Instructions:
- Brew the Tea: Steep the tea bag in 1 cup of hot water for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bag and chill the tea in the fridge or freezer until cold.
- Blend the Slushy: In a blender, combine chilled tea, maple syrup or sugar, citrus juice (if using), and ice cubes. Blend until smooth and slushy.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the slushy and adjust sweetness or acidity if needed.
- Serve: Pour into glasses and garnish with fresh mint or a slice of lime.
Notes
- Tea Variations: Try jasmine tea for floral notes or hibiscus for a caffeine-free tangy twist.
- Fruit Boost: Add a few chunks of frozen mango or pineapple for a tropical twist.
- Make it fizzy: Add a splash of sparkling water after blending for a bubbly version.
Notes:
Brew the tea stronger than usual (double the tea or steep 50% longer) since ice and fruit will dilute the flavor significantly.
Let the tea cool completely before blending with ice — hot liquid can overflow the blender lid and melts ice unevenly.
Tips:
Use frozen passion fruit pulp straight from the freezer for the best slushy texture without additional ice.
Storage:
Best consumed immediately. If making ahead, store the tea separately and blend with ice just before serving.
Swaps:
Passion fruit can be swapped for mango, lychee, or guava. Any fruit tea works as the base.
