Southern Strawberry Sweet Tea

How to Prepare:

  1. Create Strawberry Syrup: Put half a cup of water and sugar into a small saucepan. Simmer, stirring occasionally, over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Add hulled and halved fresh strawberries to the syrup and bring it all back to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for another ten minutes, or until the strawberries are tender and the color has cooked out.
  2. Brew Tea: In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Depending on your preferred strength of tea, steep for 5-7 minutes after removing from heat. Add the tea bags. Remove the tea bags and discard them.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Press down on the particles to extract as much liquid as possible as you pour the strawberry syrup into the tea using a fine mesh strainer.
  4. Chill: Once the tea and strawberry combination is combined with the rest of the cold water, put it in the fridge to cool completely.
  5. Serve: Pour over ice and top with lemon slices and fresh mint leaves, if preferred.
