Equipment
- 1 medium saucepan
Ingredients
- 12 black tea bags (I used Lipton)
- 4 cups boiling water
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 4 cups cold water divided
- 3 cups sliced/hulled, fresh strawberries
- fresh strawberry slices and/or mint leaves optional for garnish
Instructions
- Remove the tea bags from the box and tie them together, then clip the paper tags off.
- Bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, remove from heat and add the tea bags. Steep for 5 minutes. After steep time, remove the tea bags, allowing the tea to drip out of them before discarding them.
- Stir the granulated sugar into the brewed tea until dissolved, then set aside.
- Add 3 cups of strawberries and 1 cup cold water to a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. Use a fine mesh strainer to strain out the pulp. Discard the pulp, and pour the strawberry liquid into a serving pitcher.
- Add the brewed sweet tea and remaining 3 cups cold water to the pitcher and stir. Allow the mixture to cool before serving.
- Once cooled, pour the strawberry tea over ice and/or strawberry slices if desired. Garnish with mint leaves, then drink up!
