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.

Steps:
- Pour 4 cups boiling water over the tea bags, mint, and sugar in a pitcher. Steep for 30 minutes. Remove the tea bags, squeezing out excess liquid. Remove the mint.
- Prepare the lemonade according to the instructions and add to the tea.
- Add the pineapple juice and stir. Serve over ice.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality tea leaves or bags. Fresh, loose-leaf tea will produce the best flavor, but tea bags are also a convenient option.
- Use filtered or spring water. Tap water can contain impurities that can affect the taste of the tea.
- Bring the water to a full boil, then let it cool for a minute or two before pouring it over the tea leaves.
- Steep the tea for the recommended amount of time. Over-steeping can make the tea bitter.
- Add sugar or other sweeteners to taste. You can also add fruit, herbs, or spices to create different flavor combinations.
- Serve the tea hot or cold. Iced tea is a refreshing option for hot summer days.
