I LOVE the Tazo Passion Tea Lemonade from Starbucks. When I am not pregnant, I usually get an iced latte or a refresher. But, now that I am keeping the caffeine at bay and save my daily intake for my morning cup of coffee, I was wanting a substitute. This CopyCat Passion Tea Lemonade is amazing! And even better, I can make it at home for a fraction of the cost!
You only need 4 things for this drink: Lemonade, Tazo Passion Tea, Ice, and a sweetener of your choice.
It is simple to make this and have it ready on hand.
Here are the steps:
- Boil 8 oz of water in the microwave
- Steep 2 bags of tea for 15 minutes.
- While it is still warm, stir in 2 spoons of sugar (you can use any sweetener and as much or as little as you want)
- Give it a taste to make sure it is nice and sweet and then stick it in the fridge.
When you are ready for a glass, just fill your cup with ice, and pour in the tea and lemonade. I like a ratio of 1 part tea to two parts lemonade. That is how they make it at Starbucks. You can play with it as much as you like.
*I normally use Simply Lemonade, but the store was sold out. This was a great substitute if you don’t mind a tiny bit of artificial sweetener. I will continue to use Simply Lemonade in the future although this tasted exactly the same*

I never thought of this! Can't wait to try it. Does it taste just like the Starbucks drink? I mean, I'm sure it's close enough.
I've been doing a spin on this using Twinnings pomegranate raspberry and crystal light lemonade and it's amazing!!!
Starbucks actually uses one part passion tea to about 4/5 part lemonade, that might be less tart if you give it a try. Also, try shaking the mixture or using your own simple syrup for a sweetener! (:
I made this one day at work and I loved it. Thanks for sharing.
Where do I buy the tea?
Even Better:
Brew tea: Pour 1 qt boiling water over 4 tea bags, steep 10 min, pour over ice.
After the ice melts:
Add 2 tubes of Crystal Lite lemonade mix - any flavor - I like the raspberry best. (The kind used in 16 oz bottles of water) add 1qt cold water. Pour over ice ine a glass Enjoy!!
Your site is very impressive with tasty foods and lovely pictures. I am so glad to see them. Thanks so much for sharing.

What kind of tea is it that you use?
Because I'm from Germany and we don't have this tea here... 🙂
I love this recipe, but I use 8 oz tea and 4 oz lemonade, and I make my own simple syrup as sweetner. This is my go to refresher daily.
