Recipe Introduction


"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."


List of Ingredients




* 1 quart barely boiling hot water
* 4 orange pekoe tea bags
* 1 quart ice cold water
* 1 (16 ounce) can pineapple juice
* 1/2 cup simple syrup (optional)
* 1 fresh pineapple - peeled, cored, and cut into spears

Recipe



1. Pour the barely boiling hot water into a large pitcher, and add the tea bags. Steep the tea 2 to 4 minutes. Remove the tea bags, and pour in the ice water. Pour in the pineapple juice. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, about 1 1/2 hours.
2. Pour the tea over ice, garnish with pineapple spears, and serve.
