Ingredients

4 servings

For the tea base

4 cups water
4 black tea bags
1 oz fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced (about a 2-inch piece)
3 tbsp maple syrup, plus more to taste
1 ½ cups fresh pineapple juice (from about ½ medium pineapple, juiced or blended and strained)
1 tbsp fresh lime juice

For serving

2 cups ice cubes
fresh pineapple wedges, for garnish (optional)
fresh mint sprigs, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1
Combine the water and sliced ginger in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat, add the tea bags, and steep for 5 minutes, until the tea is deep amber and fragrant.
2
Remove and discard the tea bags. Stir in the maple syrup until fully dissolved. Let the ginger continue to steep in the hot tea for another 5 minutes, then strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a pitcher, pressing the ginger slices to extract their flavor; discard the solids.
