Ingredients
  

4 cups brewed black tea, cooled

2 cups pineapple juice (preferably freshly squeezed)

1 cup coconut water

1/2 cup sugar (adjust based on preference)

1 cup fresh pineapple chunks

1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice

1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, plus extra for garnish

2 cups sparkling water or soda (optional, for a fizzy finish)

Ice cubes

Instructions
 

Brew the Black Tea: Begin by brewing the black tea. In a pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 4 tea bags to the water and let them steep for approximately 5 minutes. Once done, remove the tea bags and allow the tea to cool completely at room temperature.

    Combine the Ingredients: In a large pitcher, pour in the cooled black tea, followed by the pineapple juice, coconut water, and sugar. Stir the mixture thoroughly until the sugar is completely dissolved, ensuring a well-balanced sweetness.

      Incorporate Citrus and Mint: Add the freshly squeezed lime juice and the mint leaves to the pitcher. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press the mint leaves against the bottom of the pitcher to release their aromatic oils without crushing them completely.

        Chill the Mixture: Transfer the pitcher to the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 1 hour. This step is important as it allows all the flavors to meld beautifully, creating a harmonious punch.

          Prepare the Serving Glasses: When you’re ready to serve, fill each glass with ice cubes and add a generous amount of fresh pineapple chunks for a tropical touch.

            Serve the Punch: Carefully pour the chilled pineapple iced tea punch over the ice and pineapple in each glass. For a refreshing fizz, top each glass with sparkling water or soda before serving.

              Garnish and Enjoy: Garnish each drink with extra mint leaves for a pop of color and added freshness. Stir gently and serve immediately for a delightful tropical experience in every sip!
