How to Make Pineapple Iced Tea
This Iced Pineapple Tea is so light, fruity, and refreshing. It’s something I could make (and drink) every single day, especially when the sun is out and blazing down in the middle of summer. It’s a pretty straightforward iced tea recipe, with a few little things that make it absolutely perfect!
How to Make Skinny Iced Pineapple Tea:
- Boil 8 cups of water, then remove from heat
- Let 2 family size tea bags steep in the water for 15-20 minutes
- Pour tea into a pitcher, and stir in the Stevia and baking soda
- Then stir in the fresh pineapple juice
- Store the pineapple tea in the refrigerator until it is chilled
- Serve over ice and garnish with a pineapple slice or mint
If you’re nervous about slicing pineapple, DON’T BE! It’s one of the irrational fears I had before developing this recipe, and it was so much easier than I thought. Check this Wikihow post to see how to do it!
If you don’t have family size tea bags, you can use 6-8 individual size tea bags instead.
Why do you add baking soda to iced tea?
Adding a bit of baking soda to iced tea helps to give it a smoother taste. Tea can taste bitter sometimes, and this helps to solve that issue!
How many tea bags does it take to make a gallon of iced tea?
A general guideline is to use 1 tea bag (individual size) per cup of water, but when making larger amounts of iced tea (like a gallon or 1/2 gallon ), you should do more like 1 bag per 2 cups of water. So for a full gallon, use 8 individual size tea bags. I used family size tea bags for this recipe, which are equal to about 4 individual size tea bags. For a gallon of iced tea, use about 2-4 family size tea bags.
I hope you give this Skinny Pineapple Tea a try this Summer. This iced tea recipe couldn’t be more refreshing or perfect for those neighborhood BBQs. Bring a pitcher of this and you’ll be the cul-de-sac celebrity!

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
