How to Make Ihilani's Passion Fruit Iced Tea

Place 4 black tea bags in a heat-proof pitcher (approx. 2-quart capacity).
Boil 4 cups of water and carefully pour over the tea bags.
Cover the pitcher and let the tea steep for 3 minutes.
Remove the tea bags and allow the tea to cool slightly before refrigerating for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until thoroughly chilled.
In a separate bowl or cup, whisk together 1 cup passion fruit puree, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/4 cup fresh lime juice until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Once the tea is very cold, add the passion fruit mixture to the pitcher. Stir gently to combine.
Serve over ice. Garnish with fresh passion fruit pulp and a lime wedge, if desired.
