Ingredients
Tea Base
- 3 cups cold green tea (Tazo recommended)
Fruits and Sweetener
- 1 cup frozen dragon fruit
- 1 cup frozen passion fruit
- 4 tablespoons agave syrup
- Juice of 1/2 lime
Garnish
- Lime wheels
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients. Gather all ingredients including frozen dragon fruit, passion fruit, cold green tea, agave syrup, and fresh lime. Ensure the tea is chilled for the best refreshing flavor.
- Blend the Ingredients. In a high-speed blender, combine frozen dragon fruit, frozen passion fruit, agave syrup, lime juice, and cold green tea. Blend on high until the mixture is fully incorporated and smooth.
- Strain the Mixture. Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher or bowl to remove any pulp or seeds, resulting in a smooth tea.
- Serve. Fill glasses with ice, pour the strained tea over the ice, and garnish each glass with lime wheels for an extra touch of freshness and visual appeal.
Notes
- Use frozen fruit for a chilled and naturally thickened drink without needing extra ice.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of agave syrup based on personal preference.
- For an extra zing, add a few mint leaves as garnish or blend them in.
- Straining is optional if you prefer a more pulpy texture.
- This beverage is best served immediately but can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
