Notes
Do not over steep otherwise the tea will become bitter.
You can replace black tea leaves with green tea leaves. Instead of loose tea, you can use 1 tea bag for 2 teaspoons of loose tea.
If you don’t like passion fruit seeds, you can strain the pulp using a fine-mesh strainer and use the juice.
