HAWAIIAN ICED TEA

I first tasted this tea in a popular Italian restaurant in my college hometown of Kailua. I have been craving it ever since, and have experimented with a few proportions. Add more tea leaves for a stronger tea, but do not steep longer or the tea will end up tasting bitter. (If it does, add a pinch of baking soda.) Always make something to your liking! This is also great to serve at showers.

  • Use fresh pineapple juice for the best flavor. You can also use canned pineapple juice, but it will not be as good.
  • Add the sugar and lemon juice to taste. You can also add a bit of honey or agave nectar if you prefer.
  • Serve the Hawaiian iced tea immediately over ice. You can garnish it with a slice of pineapple or a sprig of mint.
