If you have ever been to Starbucks you know they have a really popular Passion Fruit Tea drink. It is also really expensive, and if you get it sweetened it contains refined sugars and preservatives from the syrup. I found these Iced Passion tea bags by Tazo at Target one day, and they are awesome! The tea bags are huge, and when you brew them you end up with 64 oz. of tea to put in your refrigerator. When my husband brought home limes one day a light bulb went off above my head and this recipe was created.
If you are trying to cut sugary drinks, especially for children, this is a great way to get them to try something with natural flavors that isn’t sweetened to death. It is refreshing on a hot summer day, and would be great to freeze in ice pop molds for a treat at the pool. I recommend allowing it to sit overnight to get the full flavor of the lime zest!
