Passion Fruit and Lime Tea

Passion fruit’s citrus notes, lightness, and tartness make it a great addition to black tea. “You can strain the pulp before serving, but I prefer to leave it in to let the edible passion fruit seeds show off,” says Bailey-Roka. “I also add ice to the cups instead of to the pitcher to avoid diluting the flavors. This looks and tastes like sunshine in a cup!”

If you have trouble finding passion fruit pulp, substitute a chia drink, such as Mamma Chia Coconut Mango, Guava Mamma, or Cherry Lime; all provide the right tropical flavor, and the chia seeds mimic passion fruit seeds. Wait until the tea and honey have cooled, and then add the chia drink plus lime juice to taste.
