Make a refreshing homemade iced tea blending sweet strawberries and tart lemon.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups water
  • 4 black tea bags (or 2 tablespoons loose leaf black tea)
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup cold water (for dilution)
  • Ice cubes
  • Lemon slices and whole strawberries for garnish

Instructions

  1. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan. Remove from heat.
  2. Add the tea bags or loose leaf tea to the hot water. Steep for 5 minutes. Remove tea bags or strain leaves.
  3. While the tea is still warm, stir in the sugar until it completely dissolves.
  4. Add the sliced strawberries to the warm tea mixture. Let the strawberries infuse for 15 minutes.
  5. Strain the tea mixture to remove the steeped tea bags/leaves and the softened strawberries (or leave strawberries in for a more rustic look).
  6. Stir in the fresh lemon juice and the 1 cup of cold water.
  7. Chill the tea base completely in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  8. To serve, fill glasses with ice cubes. Pour the chilled tea over the ice. Garnish each glass with a lemon slice and a fresh strawberry.

Notes

  • For a stronger flavor, use green tea instead of black tea.
  • Adjust sugar quantity based on the sweetness of your strawberries and your preference for tartness.
  • If you prefer a sweeter tea, muddle a few extra strawberries directly into the serving glass before adding ice and tea.
  • You can use frozen strawberries; thaw them slightly before adding them to the warm tea for infusion.
