*A refreshing iced tea with sweet papaya syrup.*

SkiddlzNinja did it first. Check out his **[Tenacious T](https://alltheflavors.com/recipes/87595#tenacious_t_live_mixing_02_09_by_skiddlzninja)** recipe. It was the inspiration for this though I haven't tried it yet; I just wanted to try a simpler mix of papaya and tea first. When I saw Tenacious T, the combination of TFA's Sweet Tea and Papaya looked like a stroke of genius, just imagining the way they'd taste together. But possibly a mild challenge to pull off, since one of those is a brutal bully that can easily get way too funky and the other is a shrinking violet. This is just a simple recipe that celebrates that combination.  

I'm surprised there aren't more recipes using **TFA Sweet Tea** out there. Is my taster broken? As best I can tell, it does a fine job of emulating that sort of fast food drive thru sweet tea flavor. The only problem is that it's ridiculously weak in more ways than one. First, it takes about 6 or 7% of it to taste like much of anything at all. I could easily see needing 15% in a recipe. But at TFA prices, I'm not terribly worried about that. A bigger problem is that it can easily get almost completely obliterated in a mix. "I know I put a ton of Sweet Tea in here, where'd it go?" Accoutrements must be added carefully .

**TFA Papaya** is the opposite, much stronger in concentration than most TFA flavors and prone to pushing other flavors around. And getting violently FUNKY. Just like a real, ripe, papaya. Careful not to spill it on anything. Papaya for weeks if you do. Starting at 1% and working up 0.1% at a time until it's too much, then backing down, is my approach to taming this beast. Even at 1.4% it mostly overpowers the tea, but so would putting papaya syrup in a tea unless it's a hearty brew. 

**FA Apricot** does a fantastic job of propping up the Papaya fruitiness without increasing the funk or calling too much attention to itself. **FA Pear/INW Cactus** 0.25% each just a touch of sweet and wet juicy goodness, but not too much of either. 

**Optional**: Add **Sweetener** and/or **Coolant** to taste. I've been enjoying this with 0.25% **FW Sweetener** but I live in the southern USA where sweet tea is SWEET. Speaking of the South, **WS-23.** It's so hot and I needed another cool, refreshing recipe. I like it with this at 0.75% as an "over ice" type versus "frozen solid" amount of coolant, but coolant tolerance varies from one person to the next. 

Give a mix and let me know what you think **Or better yet,** use a ludicrous-looking amount of TFA Sweet Tea and relatively small dose of your fruit of choice and make your own fruity sweet ice tea to help get you though the rest of summer. <h4>Recipe</h4>FW Sweetener &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>0.25%</strong>FA Armenia (apricot) &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>0.75%</strong>FA Pear &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>0.25%</strong>INW Cactus &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>0.25%</strong>OTHR WS-23 &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>0.75%</strong>TPA Papaya &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>1.4%</strong>TPA Sweet Tea &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>10%</strong><p>Total Flavor: <strong>13.65%</strong></p>
