Ingredients
  

4 cups water

4 black tea bags

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

1/2 cup sugar (adjust to taste)

1 lemon, juiced

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Ice cubes

Instructions
 

In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.

    Once boiling, remove the saucepan from heat. Add the black tea bags to the water and steep for about 5-7 minutes, depending on your desired strength of tea.

      While the tea is steeping, place the sliced strawberries in a blender. Add the sugar and lemon juice. Blend until smooth to create a strawberry puree.

        After steeping, remove the tea bags and pour the hot tea into a large pitcher.

          Stir in the strawberry puree into the warm tea, mixing well until combined. Adjust sweetness by adding more sugar if desired.

            Allow the tea to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour until chilled.

              Serve over ice, garnished with fresh mint leaves if using. Enjoy your refreshing Strawberry Sweet Tea!
