Has anyone else enjoyed the Tazo Passion tea as served at Starbucks? Does
anyone know how they make it at Starbucks? Or, how do YOU enjoy making it at
home yourself?

Just bought a box yesterday after becoming hopelessly addicted and would
like to capture the magic as closely as possible!

Peace is the word

In my experience, they put the bag in a cup and add hot water from the
coffee machine.

Does anyone know how they sweeten it (After trying it with honey I'm
guessing that's how they do it)-- specifically when served iced? Honey
doesn't mix well when introduced to cold liquid . . .

Make the tea with hot water, add the sweetener while still hot, and
*then* cool. A fridge comes in handy.

This is worth doing even if you're `only' adding sugar, since it will
dissolve more readily in hot water.

Alternatively you can keep a supply of sweetened water made this way
in the fridge and use that to make the tea on demand.

Cheers,

I'm right now drinking a cup I added a few chunks of dried
date to.

Can't really tell how sweet it's making the tea because I also ate
a few chunks of dried date when I started drinking it.

Oops.

Or, if you have access to a blender. You can always try blending the
iced tea with honey in a pinch.

Well, it was definitely sweeter towards the bottom.

But the bits of date at the end were nasty.

Won't do that again.
