Tropical Sunrise Iced Tea Recipe
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup of brewed Road Trip Tea
- 1/4 cup of coconut water
- A splash of pineapple juice (to sweeten)
- Cayenne pepper and sugar for the rim
- Lime wedges
- Pineapple slices
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
- Lots of ice
Instructions
-
Brew the Tea: Start by brewing a strong batch of Road Trip Tea. Use 1 tea bag of the tea blend for every 8 ounces of water. Let it steep for 5-7 minutes to ensure a full-bodied flavor. Once brewed, allow it to cool to room temperature and then chill it in the refrigerator.

Prepare the Rim: To give your drink an extra kick, rim your low ball glass with a mix of cayenne pepper and sugar. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of the glass to moisten it, then dip it into a plate of cayenne and sugar until well-coated.
-
Mix the Mocktail: Fill your glass with lots of ice. Pour in 3/4 cup of the chilled Road Trip Tea, followed by 1/4 cup of coconut water. Add a splash of pineapple juice to sweeten the mixture to your liking.
-
Garnish: Garnish your Tropical Sunrise Iced Tea with a slice of lime, a wedge of pineapple, and a sprig of fresh mint. This not only enhances the visual appeal but also adds a burst of fresh aroma.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Your Tropical Sunrise Iced Tea is ready to be enjoyed. For an adult twist, you can add a splash of rum or vodka. Sip, relax, and let the tropical flavors transport you to a serene beachside.
