This is a lovely quick recipe, thank you for the brilliant write up.
dumb question do u mix water with the lemonade frozen mix?
From the picture it looks like they use Simply Lemonade which is not a frozen concentrate.
That’s not quite how we make our Passion Tea Lemonade. It’s a 1:1 ratio of double strength passion tea and lemonade, then classic syrup (basically sugar water), and of course, ice. There is no vanilla, but I’m now tempted to try switching out some pumps of class for pumps of vanilla.
I am making it now, but why do you add lemonade at the very end when it’s already been added to the final mix? Excited to try this. Thanks.
I think the last step is to make a single serving
It was pretty good! I think next time I will watch how long I let my tea steep, it was just a bit strong for me, but thats what multi-tasking gets ya! I also will probably add a touch more sugar, mine wasn’t as sweet as I would like for it to be! Other than than it was very good :)
Actually Tazo makes an “iced: versioin of the Passion tea that you can buy in most Walmart and some other stores. I have been using it for 3-4 years now…

I make mine double strength from what they suggest but then as the ice melts the tea still is very flavorful that way.
What ratio of the concentrate to water do you use? Thank you
The recipe on the package says 1 pouch to 32oz of water + 32oz lemonade (or 32oz water for just the tea)
I like mine a little sweeter so I may add some sugar.
I’ve seen Tazo tea at Meijer and Target. You also can buy the boxes of tea at Starbucks, but you might not want to tell the barista you won’t be seeming them for a long time. :)
HAHAHA!!! :)
