    Make Starbucks Passion Tea with Lemonade at home! This tasty and refreshing drink is easy to make with only two ingredients.

    It’s one of our favorite beverages to have in the fridge. We like to make a pitcher of this to serve with dinner, and it goes great with snacks and desserts too!

    Sometimes we just want something flavorful to drink! While it is important to drink water, occasionally, it’s nice to switch things up a bit and add some flavor. A family member gave us the idea of making Passion Tea Lemonade. We put our own spin on it and made a family-sized version, but it is really easy to make a single serving too.

    Ingredients Needed and Substitutes

    This recipe is so easy to make with only two ingredients, not including water which isn’t typically added to an ingredients list.

    • Tea: We used Tazo Iced Passion Tea pitcher-size bags, but you can use any brand you prefer.
    • Lemonade: We chose to make this recipe with a sugar-free lemonade, so we used Crystal Light.

    How To Make Passion Tea Lemonade

    There are only a few simple steps needed to make this drink. This Starbucks copycat recipe is ready in minutes!

    • Brew the tea: Bring 3/4 cup of water to a boil. Add the tea bag (We used an extra-large tea bag meant for multiple servings) and let it brew for 5 minutes.
    • Make the lemonade: Pour the lemonade powder into a pitcher and add 2 quarts of cold water. Stir to mix.
    • Add the tea: Discard the tea bags and add the tea to the lemonade in the pitcher and stir to combine.
    • Enjoy: Put ice in your favorite cup and fill it with passion tea lemonade.

    Variations

    There are many variations you could try to give this recipe a new twist. Try using pink lemonade or apple juice instead of traditional lemonade. Or, for a more natural version, squeeze fresh lemons and use honey for the sweetener. You could also punch up the flavor by adding syrups such as raspberry or peach.

    Strawberry Tea Lemonade

    Choose a strawberry tea and mix it with classic lemonade; dress it up with some strawberry slices for added color.

    Mango Tea Lemonade

    For a tropical twist, try a flavored mango tea and mix it with your favorite lemonade. Another tasty option is to use a tropical fruit juice blend in place of lemonade.

    Blackberry Tea Lemonade

    To make another berry combo, try blending the lemonade mix with a blackberry-flavored tea. Add blackberries and a lemon wedge to garnish.

    Other Ways To Enjoy Passion Tea Lemonade

    Single Serving Passion Tea with Lemonade

    To make this drink for one, brew a single-serving passion tea bag. Use an individual serving of a lemonade mixture, such as a Crystal Light On the Go Lemonade packet and 16.9 oz of water.

    Hot Passion Tea Lemonade

    If you prefer drinking hot tea, you can make hot passion tea lemonade. Brew a single-serving bag of tea in your favorite cup. After removing the tea bag, sprinkle in a small amount of the powdered lemonade mixture and taste it before adding more. Continue adding until it tastes just right.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is passion tea lemonade made of?

    As the name suggests, this drink is a mix of Passion Tea and Lemonade. Starbucks passion tea is made with cinnamon, licorice root, citric acid, apple, lemongrass, hibiscus flower, fruit juice extract, and other natural flavors.

    How much caffeine is in passion tea lemonade?

    The Tazo Iced Passion Tea we used for this recipe is caffeine free. We recommend checking the caffeine content in whichever brand of tea you go with if that is a concern for you.

    Is the passion tea lemonade sweet?

    For this recipe, we used Crystal Light lemonade which is sweetened with a sugar alternative.
