Starbucks Tea Drinks

If you go to Starbucks only for coffee you are missing out on a whole side of the menu full of non-coffee drinks. They have hot and iced teas that are delicious. They also have non-coffee frappuccinos that are a nice treat. And we can’t forget all their pastries, sweets and lunch items. There is a whole other world of goodies to order besides coffee.

Passion Tea with Lemonade

The passion tea lemonade is one of those non-coffee drinks that will likely become a new favorite after you try it. It is made with passion fruit tea and lemonade and is the perfect combination of sweet and tart.

The passion fruit iced tea lemonade combines hibiscus, lemongrass, and apple to create a truly unique drink. The addition of lemonade makes it even more refreshing.

It’s Starbucks’ version of the well-known Arnold Palmer drink. This copycat Starbucks drink is a nice cold beverage on a warm day or when you might not want a coffee.

What Makes the Starbucks Passion Tea Lemonade So Refreshing

Is there anything better than a tall, ice-cold glass of lemonade on a hot summer day? For generations, front porch sippers have preferred lemonade for its sweet and tart flavor that makes lips pucker while quenching the mightiest of thirsts.

But Starbucks is on a mission to change that with a new, even more refreshing drink, the Starbucks Iced Passion Tango Tea Lemonade. It takes a cold glass of iced tea to a whole new flavor level.

What Does Passion Tea Lemonade Taste Like?

Drawing inspiration from the classic Arnold Palmer, this recipe takes lemonade and combines it not with ordinary sweet tea but with iced passion fruit tea instead.

Passion fruit tea has a natural sweetness and delicate tropical flavors that transform this recipe into something not only at home on the sunny white-sand beaches of Mo’orea but also on the shady maple-lined streets of middle America.

How to Make Passion Tea Lemonade

To make this copycat Starbucks iced passion tea lemonade recipe, follow these directions:

Bring four cups of filtered or bottled water to a boil in a kettle.
Remove the kettle from the heat and let it sit for about thirty seconds. Allowing the water to cool slightly before brewing reducing it to the optimal temperature range of between 203 and 208 degrees Fahrenheit.
Place two passion fruit tea bags in the pitcher and pour the hot water over the top.
Let the tea steep for about 8 minutes. Taste to make sure the tea is strong enough to stand up to the lemonade. However, it is better to err on the side of under brewing the tea than over brewing it. Leaving the tea bags in the water for too long can lead to an unpleasant acidic taste.
Pour in the lemonade and stir.
Put the pitcher in the fridge until serving.
Pour into a tall glass filled with ice cubes. Garnish with a lemon wheel and a straw.

Homemade Passion Tea Lemonade

The great thing about this drink is that you can make it at home for a fraction of the cost. The recipe makes a pitcher of the passion fruit lemonade so you can keep it in the fridge and have it on hand.

Can You Customize This Iced Passion Tea Lemonade Starbucks Recipe?

Of course, you can!

Start by changing the type of lemonade you use. Skip the store-bought, and make homemade lemonade with fresh lemon juice.

Add more flavors to the mix. Go a little further and use a flavored lemonade like pineapple, watermelon, or strawberry lemonade. Or add one or two flavored syrups to the lemonade.

Make a slushie out of it. Make a pitcher of Passion Tea Lemonade and pour it into two ice cube trays. Reserve some Passion Tea Lemonade and put it in the fridge. Freeze the passion tea lemonade until just frozen. Crush the cubes in a blender with enough unfrozen passion tea lemonade to make a slushie

Turn it into a passion tea cocktail. If you want something a little wilder, try adding a few shots of rum, tequila, or vodka to the blender before making the slushie.

How to Serve This Fruity Lemonade
