ShareRecipe: Green Tea and Passion Fruit Spritzer

4 cups cold water, divided
4 regular-size green tea bags
1/3 cup honey or ¼ cup agave nectar
2 cups passion-fruit nectar (see Kitchen Note)
Chilled sparkling water as needed
Fresh mint sprigs for garnish
1. Bring 2 cups water to a gentle boil in a small saucepan. Add tea bags, cover and remove from heat. Let steep 10 minutes.
2. Remove tea bags without squeezing them. Stir in honey or agave nectar until dissolved.
3. Pour sweetened tea into a 2-quart container. Add remaining
2 cups cold water and the passion- fruit nectar. Let cool, then chill.
4. When ready to serve, fill 6 tall glasses with ice. Fill each glass three-quarters full with tea and top off with sparkling water.
