Texas Tea Punch Recipe (Southern Sweet Tea)

Texas Tea is a wonderful, fresh recipe to have in your collection for a luncheon or party. I love it's bright red color, hint of mint, and the sweet and sour combo of lemon and pineapple. Perfect any time of year!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sugar or cut in half, or even omit; I use all natural cane sugar
  • 3 quarts filtered water that's 12 cups
  • 3 Tazo Passion Tea Bags other herbal fruity teas may be substituted
  • 8 black tea bags substitute with 2 family sized tea bags, decaf may be used
  • 4 sprigs of mint
  • 1 1/2 cups pineapple juice
  • 6 oz can frozen lemonade thawed (I can never find 6 oz, buy 12 oz and freeze leftovers)
  • ice lemon slices and mint sprigs for serving (optional)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Bring the sugar (optional) and water to a boil, whisking to combine until sugar is dissolved. Boil 5 minutes, remove from heat. If not using sugar, just bring to boil.
  2. Add mint sprigs, herbal berry tea bags, black tea bags. Cover and let steep/stand for 5 minutes.
  3. Remove tea bags and mint from tea using a sieve. Add lemonade concentrate and pineapple juice. Stir and chill.
  4. Serve over ice, garnish with a lemon slice and a mint sprig.

Notes

  • If you'd like your tea even less sweet, reduce your sugar by half, or remove sugar all-together!
  • OVER 21 | Make into an adult drink by adding a shot of your favorite flavored vodka, give Deep Eddy's Grapefruit or Lemon vodka a try.
