    Make your own Starbucks copycat passion tea lemonade with just 3 ingredients: passion tea, water, and your favorite pre-made lemonade. You can also make this recipe with homemade lemonade, with a recipe here too. This recipe is great for a quick refreshing drink, that's ready in just 5 minutes.

    How will this passion tea lemonade make your life easier?

    A giant glass of cold passion tea lemonade is one of my favorite pick-ups from Starbucks. Even though there are almost as many Starbucks stores where I live now compared to where I grew up in Washington, and they are convenient; sometimes it's nice to be able to make drinks at home instead of having to leave the house to go grab a glass. Make a large pitcher for a summer party, or make one glass for yourself. Either way, it's a winning drink.

    How do I make passion tea lemonade?

    Bring 1 cup water to a boil. Steep passion tea bag in the water for 3-4 minutes. Remove tea bag.

    Expert Tip: My favorite passion tea is Tazo Tea brand. Use whatever brand you like best.

    Expert Tip: To make a quart of this drink, bring 3 cups of water to a boil, and use 3 tea bags, or a larger one. Add 1-1 ¼ cup of lemonade to the tea.

    Measure out ⅓ cup lemonade, pour into passion tea. Mix together. Add ice or refrigerate to cool drink down.

    Expert Tip: My favorite lemonade brand is Newman's Own (it's Good Housekeeping's too!). Use your favorite lemonade in this recipe. You can make your own by adding 1 part lemon juice, 1 part sugar, and 6 parts water then adjust from there.

    FAQ

    How do you make lemonade from scratch?

    I'd recommend a ratio of 1 part lemon juice, 1 part sugar, and 6 parts water. Then taste it and adjust to your own preference. If you're making this for one person, start with ¼ c lemon juice, ¼ c sugar, and 1 ½ c water. Add the passion tea to that.

    What is the best lemonade?

    My favorite store bought lemonade is Newman's Own. Good Housekeeping agrees with me. They gave the highest rating to Newman's Own, then Crystal Light, and Market Pantry Sugar Free mix, and the list goes on from there.

      I pinned this gorgeous tea. I'm a little weird in that I can drink the Passion tea solo but I'm sure it's incredible with lemonade added. It's perfect for the summer!
