Notes

If you’re looking to switch things up, feel free to substitute the banana with other fruits like strawberries or mangoes for a different flavor profile.
This iced tea can be easily adjusted to personal taste; don’t hesitate to experiment with the balance of pomegranate juice and honey to find your perfect mix!
If you happen to make extra, it stores well in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but serve it chilled as the sparkling water is best enjoyed fresh.
