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
Ingredient noteAIP restricts added sweeteners, but small occasional amounts of unrefined maple syrup are accepted on the protocol; the ~2 1/4 teaspoons per serving here likely stays within that limited allowance. If you prefer to always avoid maple syrup, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 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.
