Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 cups water
  • 4 tea bags (use your favorite!)
  • 2 lemons, one for juicing, one for slicing
  • 4 strawberries, sliced
  • 5 mint leaves
  • 4 tablespoons favorite sweetener like agave nectar or honey (totally optional)

Instruction

  • Bring 4 cups of water to a boil.
  • When it’s done boiling, remove the pot from the heat and add your tea bags.
  • Allow the tea bags to steep in the water for about 10 minutes. Since I’m adding additional flavors like lemon and strawberry, I like to make sure the tea is strong enough so it still shines through 🙂
  • Remove the bags and add the tea to the pitcher.
  • Squeeze the juice from a lemon and strain it into the pitcher as well.
  • Slice the strawberries and remaining lemon.
  • Add them to the pitcher with the mint.
  • Place the pitcher in fridge for about three hours, or until chilled.
  • I always leave it unsweetened so I can offer both sweetened and unsweetened versions to friends.
  • If you want it sweetened, just stir the agave in with the rest of the ingredients and chill.
  • Stir everything up and pour!
