Ingredients

• 4 cups water
• 1/2 cup fresh pineapple, diced
• 1/2 cup fresh mango, diced
• 1/4 cup passion fruit pulp (from about 2-3 passion fruits)
• 2 tablespoons dried hibiscus flowers
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, thinly sliced
• 1-2 tablespoons honey or agave nectar (optional, to taste)
• Lime wedges for garnish (optional)

Directions

1. Combine ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the water, diced pineapple, diced mango, passion fruit pulp, dried hibiscus flowers, and sliced ginger.
2. Simmer gently: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Do not boil vigorously.
3. Steep for flavor: Reduce heat to low and let the tea steep for 10-12 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
4. Strain and sweeten: Carefully strain the tea through a fine-mesh sieve into a heatproof pitcher or individual cups, pressing on the solids to extract all the liquid. Discard the solids.
5. Adjust sweetness: Stir in honey or agave nectar to taste, if desired.
6. Serve and garnish: Serve hot or chill to serve cold over ice. Garnish with a fresh lime wedge before serving for an extra citrusy note.
