Iced tea is elevated to a whole new level with the addition of fresh or frozen strawberries. The naturally sweet summer berry adds sweetness and a depth of flavor that's refreshing and delicious.
Prep/Cook Time: 2:15 Hours, Servings: 7
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh strawberries, trimmed and sliced, or 16 ounces frozen unsweetened whole strawberries, thawed
- 3 tablespoons loose black tea
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 4 teaspoons finely shredded lemon peel
- 7 cups boiling water
- Ice cubes
- Fresh whole strawberries (optional)
Directions
- Place strawberries in a large heatproof pitcher or glass measure. Crush berries. Add loose tea, sugar and lemon peel. Add boiling water. Let mixture steep for 3 to 5 minutes. Pour mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth; discard strawberry pulp, lemon peel and tea leaves. Cool tea mixture at room temperature for about 2 hours. Store tea in the refrigerator.
- To serve, fill tall glasses with ice. Pour tea into glasses. If desired, add a fresh whole strawberry to each glass.
