To make tea:
In a large saucepan, bring 1 quart (4 cups) of water to a boil.
Once boiling, remove from heat and add tea bags (tie strings together for easy removal later) and baking soda.
Allow tea to steep for 8-10 minutes.
Remove the tea bags and stir in the simple syrup.
Pour tea in a large pitcher and add in remaining water and pineapple juice.
Serve over ice.
Optional: garnish with fresh mint and pineapple!
You can add more or less pineapple juice to your tea to taste. For a boozy drink, add some rum!
