Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 4 teaspoons red rooibos
- 2 teaspoons lemongrass
- 1 teaspoon cornflowers
- 1 teaspoon red peppercorn
- ¼ cup unsweetened pineapple juice
- ¼ cup freshly squeeze orange juice
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- ice cubes or frozen pineapple chunks!*
Instructions
- While waiting for water to boil, create your own herbal tea blend by adding the rooibos, lemon grass, cornflowers and peppercorns directly to a heatproof pitcher, or an infuser.
- When the water reaches a full boil, pour it over the herbal tea blend and allow it to steep for 5 minutes.
- After steeping, discard the herbal tea blend by removing the infuser or using a fine mesh strainer.
- Stir in the sugar (or another sweetener of your choice) until it dissolves in the hot tea and then the pineapple and orange juice.
- Serve into glasses filled with ice cubes or frozen pineapple chunks. You can also refrigerate for a couple of hours before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
*Try replacing ice cubes with frozen pineapple chunks! This goes really well with this tropical iced tea, and you won't risk watering down your iced tea.
