- 4 cups (946 ml) water, preferably filtered or bottled for best flavor
- 2 Tazo Iced Passion Tea Bags (hibiscus, lemongrass, apple blend)
Lemonade
- 4 cups (946 ml) lemonade (choose based on sweetness preference)

Instructions
- Boil Water: Bring 4 cups (946 ml) of water to a rolling boil using a stovetop or an electric kettle. Ensure the water reaches a full boil to fully extract the tea flavors.
- Steep Tea: Place 2 Tazo Iced Passion Tea Bags in a heatproof pitcher. Carefully pour the boiling water over the tea bags. Let steep for 5 to 10 minutes, tasting at around 8 minutes to check preferred strength.
- Remove Tea Bags: Remove the tea bags gently without squeezing to avoid bitterness and maintain a smooth flavor.

Notes
- For stronger tea flavor, steep the tea bags longer but avoid steeping past 10 minutes to prevent bitterness.
- Choose your lemonade based on sweetness preference or make your own fresh lemonade for a natural touch.
- Use filtered or bottled water to enhance the tea’s delicate flavors.
- Serve immediately after preparing to enjoy the freshest taste and chilling effect.
