The key to making a natural sweet tea is in the making of the simple syrup. Water, sugar, fresh pineapple and unsweetened coconut; boiling together until all the flavors become one. Pull out the lounge chair and sip on a tall glass of ice cold All Natural Pineapple Coconut Iced Tea!
IMPORTANT TIP: I would highly recommend making the syrup at least a day in advance. As you may or may not know, coconut has a high fat content. To avoid little fat droplets floating in your tea is super easy. All you do is make the syrup in advance, refrigerate it until the fat is solidified and skim the fat off the top. I know this may sound weird or gross but remember THIS IS NOT animal fat but yummy coconut!
