Make this easy, caffeine-free Starbucks Iced Passion Tango Tea Lemonade at home. It’s a fruity, refreshing iced drink that’s made in a few minutes with just 4 ingredients!

Iced Passion Tango Tea Lemonade

Starbucks makes their Iced Passion Tango Tea Lemonade by shaking ice, lemonade, and Teavana’s Passion Tango iced tea concentrate in a large cocktail shaker 10 times. It’s shaken to make sure the tea is chilled and all ingredients are mixed well.

The Passion Tango Tea used in the Starbucks drink is an herbal tea blend of hibiscus flowers, orange peel, rose hips, and passion fruit flavors. The caffeine-free drink is sweetened by the lemonade, which is pre-made and contains sugar.

Recipe Summary

• At Starbucks, an iced tea concentrate is used to make the drink. This homemade copycat is made by brewing hot tea using tea bags which is then quickly cooled with ice in a cocktail shaker.
• It takes about 5 minutes to make this drink, including the time to steep the tea.
• This easy recipe recreates a grande size (16 ounce) cup of Starbucks Iced Passion Tango Tea Lemonade using 4 ingredients.

Ingredient Notes

• Tazo Passion tea bags: The tea concentrate that Starbucks uses isn’t available for purchase anywhere so I’m replacing it with Tazo’s Passion tea. DO NOT get the Passion Tango Tea Concentrate that’s sold pre-made since it’s absolutely horrible. Always make it from the tea bags.
• Water: Use filtered water, like Starbucks does, for a better tasting tea.
• Lemonade: Starbucks uses their own sweetened lemonade in this drink, which isn’t available for purchase. Use Minute Maid Lemonade or Simply Lemonade, which tastes very close to the one at Starbucks.
• Ice: Filtered water makes better tasting ice.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Ways to Customize This Drink

This drink is already sweetened from the lemonade but if you like it sweeter, or just want to adjust the flavor, here are some options.

Make it sweeter
Simple syrup is the easiest way to sweeten an iced drink since it’ll dissolve easily into a cold beverage. It’s quick and easy to make your own simple syrup at home using just 2 ingredients.

Add flavored syrups
To sweeten and flavor this drink, add a fruity touch with peach syrup or strawberry syrup.

Add fruit juice
Instead of syrup, add a little peach juice or pineapple juice.

Expert Tips

• If you don’t have Tazo’s Passion tea, any brand of hibiscus tea bags will work.
• The tea can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
• The cocktail shaker is used to quickly cool down the hot tea using ice. If you don’t have a cocktail shaker, any large jar with a tight lid will work.
• The more you shake the iced tea, the more foam you’ll see on the surface. If you like a lot of foam, keep shaking it, about 40 times.
• Starbucks iced drinks are half liquid and half ice. In a grande sized drink, which is 16 ounces, 8 ounces is tea and lemonade with 8 ounces of ice.
