Method
- Select a ripe soursop that yields to gentle pressure, cut it in half, and scoop out 2 cups of white pulp, discarding seeds and skin.
- Place the soursop pulp in a bowl and break it up with a fork to ensure it blends smoothly.
- Pour 4 cups of filtered water into a medium saucepan and heat over medium-high heat until steaming at about 180 to 190°F.
- Add the prepared soursop pulp to the hot water and stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture turns pale green.
- Let the mixture steep, uncovered, for 8 to 10 minutes to allow flavors to infuse.
- Place a fine-mesh strainer over a pitcher and pour the tea through it, pressing gently on the pulp to extract all liquid (about 2 minutes).
- While the tea is still hot, stir in 3 tablespoons raw honey, the juice of 1/2 lime, and a pinch of sea salt.
- Taste the tea and adjust sweetness, lime, or salt to your preference.
- Serve warm in glasses with fresh mint leaves or chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and serve over ice for iced tea.
Notes
Make a larger batch and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days; flavors will deepen over time.
