Ingredients You Will Need
- Black tea
- Granulated sugar
- Orange
- Lemon
- Pineapple juice
- Mint
Choosing Your Tea
We recommend choosing a black tea for this recipe. We found that a variety of black teas work great, but they will vary depending on the flavor profile you’re going for.
For a light and fruity tea flavor, we love an earl grey black tea. This pairs especially well with the fruit juice flavors in the iced tea.
If you’re going for a floral flavor, oolong tea is also another favorite and pairs great with the citrus in this recipe.

Tips for Perfect Iced Tea
- Make tea concentrate – to make the concentrate, you’re going to pour boiling water over all your tea bags and allow to steep 3-5 minutes.
- Add sugar to concentrate – this will help the sugar dissolve into the tea perfectly.
- Use a heat-proof container for concentrate – because you’re pouring boiling water to steep the tea, it’s important to use a heat-proof container to prevent melting or cracking.
- Use fresh lemon and orange – you can’t beat the fresh flavors this citrus provides.
- Sweeten tea to taste – we recommend starting with 1/3 cup sugar for the 6 (8 oz) servings this recipe yields, but you can easily scale this up if you like your tea sweeter.
Recipe Variations
Try these ideas for a different twist on this recipe!
- Try different citrus – grapefruit or lime in place of the orange and lemon would be great in this tea.
- Use another tropical fruit juice – mango, guava, or passionfruit nectar would be a delicious replacement for the pineapple juice.
Storing Iced Tea
This tea will store great in the refrigerator for about 1 week. We recommend storing it in mason jars and then serving over ice with fresh mint and orange/lemon slices for serving.
