This Copycat Starbucks Passion Tea Lemonade Recipe is going to save you some big bucks this spring and summer. Or maybe even today ha ha! I have been craving spring and summer drinks this past few weeks. My CopyCat Sonic Cherry Limeade that I shared with you has really helped me cure these winter blues. I will admit I drink Iced Tea year round as it is my favorite cold drink. When spring and summer arrive I will jump on the flavored Iced Teas.
If you have yet to try Starbucks Passion Tea Lemonade… you are missing out on a REALLY Tasty Iced Tea. Great year round but WONDERFUL in the spring and summer. Starbucks Passion Tea Lemonade is so gosh darn good that I rushed to Starbucks this weekend and HAD to have one. Yesterday morning I had to run to Target and was so tempted to drop in to Starbucks to buy myself another Passion Tea Lemonade. I then thought heck no! I will go home and make myself a CopyCat Starbucks Passion Tea Lemonade and save the $$’s.

Thanks for this post. This is my favorite non-coffee drink from Starbucks! Also… this drink is even MORE amazing with raspberry syrup. :) You can buy a bottle of raspberry syrup and then you do even need to add the sugar and vanilla. Saves a lot of time. :) I just use the iced passion tea, lemonade and Starbucks raspberry syrup.
How much raspberry syrup do you add?
Pinned your tasty recipe! Thank you!
This recipe looks great and easy. I love a good lemonade during the hot weather days. Thanks for an inexpensive alternative.
Thank you so much for this recipe. I am a long time fan of Tazo passion tea, but I have only drank it hot. I never knew about the Starbuck’s lemonade but now I can try this recipe for a lot cheaper. I made sure to pin it, and will be sharing it with my hubby. By the way I am visit via Titus 2sday. I hope you have a great week.

Girl you had me at Starbucks!! I love their teas and coffee but then who doesn’t? I’ll be sure to keep this recipe at home. Ty for posting, i’d love if you would come share this at our link party.
Love lemonade with tea. Thanks for posting this Starbucks alternative recipe. Pinned. Visitng from All Things Thurs. blog party.
Great recipe! One of my best friends LOVES this tea – I can’t wait to share this recipe with her. Maybe I’ll make a batch up for the next time she comes over as a surprise! ! Erika @ yayforhandmade.com
looks like a perfect treat for spring
come see me angie and what I shared at annies home ( http://shopannies.blogspot.com)
So, you don’t actually need any vanilla. If you want a true Starbucks Passion Tea Lemonade, we don’t put any vanilla in our iced teas, unless asked.
The recipe for a Grande Passion Tea Lemonade is simply, passion tea, lemoande, 4 pumps of classic syrup, and ice. Shaken.
The sugar would suffice as the classic syrup, but no vanilla is needed, unless desired :)

This recipe is Great, and almost dead of but substitute the sugar and the lemonade and can even leave out the vanila for the Lemonade MIO one little squirt or two? to taste. Taste just the same. If not better and it’s sugar free then..
This is great. This is one of my favorite cold drinks at Starbucks!
One suggestion concerning the vanilla extract … it will have more flavor enhancement if you add it after the tea cools down. Adding it to hot liquids sometimes reduces the flavor level in it. Just a thought … I enjoy your recipes and always look forward to your recreations! Thanks! Happy summertime!!
Delish! I couldn’t find passion fruit tea so I used blackberry pomegranate. Turned out so yummy!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this tea and lemonade! The best part is it’s low in calories!
I am a HUGE fan of Starbucks Passion Tea Lemonade! I’m excited to give this recipe a try because I’ll be honest it gets expensive buying so much of it!
I have never tried Starbucks Passion Tea Lemonade but it sure does look delicious!
The passion tea lemonade is seriously so good. If I don’t get coffee at starbucks, then I get that passion tea lemonade.
I love this drink!!! My new favorite! I used crystal light lemonade, sugar substitute, and just a splash of vanilla! This taste sinful, but it’s sugar free, and only 5 calories.
I made this without doing the long wait & I didn’t add ice.. its great! I bet it would be better with ice if ppl knew how to refill ice cube trays!
How much water do you boil
Hey there. I love that Starbucks passion tango iced tea. Problem is I buy them way too much. So thank you for this recipe. I tweaked it just a bit with a new find in target. I went in to pick up the Tazo passion tea bags and instead I found Tazo passion tea concentrate. All you need to do is add equal parts of water to the concentrate and add ice and you have the iced tea without needing to brew the tea or waiting for it to cool. Amazing! So easy and quick with your recipe. And the perfect at home substitution for Starbucks.
I’ve tried a lot of different PTL recipes, but this is definitely my favourite version. I just have one tiny question before I go. Usually, I make these for one, as I’m the only Starbucks-crazed person in my family. Halfing everything is fine, but I was wondering, does that mean halving the tea brewing time as well? Thanks!
Made these for my two daughters, they loved them. Thank you
I like to add apple juice instead of lemonade to my iced passion tea
I was making this copy cat drink using Great Vakue lemonade mix which was sweetened with Stevia (I don’t do refined sugar and try to avoid artificial sweeteners). Then WM stopped selling the Stevia sweetened lemonade. So my version of this drink is:
Pour the passion tea into a glass, add fresh squeezed lemon juice (to taste) and add Sweet Leaf Vanilla Cream stevia drops (to taste).
Thanks for this post and all the comments!
I make a copycat as well, but I make cold brew Tazo Passionfruit Tea with lemonade in a 32 oz jar. I put 16 oz of lemonade with 4 tea bags add 16 oz of water and top of the rest of the jar with fresh lemon juice for extra tartness while I’m making dinner. Put it in the fridge overnight and it’s ready by lunchtime the next day. I don’t need to add any extra sugar and it comes out so delicious.
When I need a quick fix I do the recipe with hot tea and put in a 16 oz glass with a full glass of ice and do the recipe as above. The tea & lemonade come out to about 16 oz with added water, lemonade and fresh lemon juice. So delicious on a day I’m craving lemonade. I pick up the Tazo tea at least 3x a month to make sure I don’t run out!
