Southern Strawberry Sweet Iced Tea
I love to make a large pitcher of this Southern Strawberry Sweet Iced Tea refreshing ice tea on a warm day. It is really simple to make and tastes absolutely amazing. I like to add a mint and strawberry garnish which adds a little extra something to the recipe in my opinion!
Start by bringing water to a boil in a small pot. Remove the pot from the heat and add the tea bags. As the tea steeps, puree and strain strawberries to get juice. Combine the tea with strawberry juice and sugar. Refrigerate until ice cold and serve over ice with mint and fresh or frozen strawberries (I like to use frozen strawberries as ice cubes).
To make Southern Strawberry Sweet Iced Tea, you will need the following ingredients:

The mint was a bit overwhelming to be honest, not bad but I'm not adding any mint next time for sure.
Brought this tea to a family picinic it was a huge crowd pleaser.
Can't get enough of this iced tea, southern foods and drinks always have the best and strongest taste to them.
One of my favorite summer drinks to make really loved it.
Vegan/Vegetarian drinks are top tier this summer thx for sharing it.
Good recipe i tried both this and honey hibiscus both yummy.
Not my cup of tea (no pun inteded) brewed tea with mint on its own was way more refreshing and a lot less work than this recipe.
Love me some good homemade iced tea this was perfection might try out a few others next week.
Soooo yummy and easy this was ultra fun to make and just good.
My kids loved this!! They even helped me make it and added a bit of love too :)
Delicious strawberry tea going to try it out with some blueberries next.
I had a hard time making this just because it's very messy and the puree is hard to perfect.
Refreshing cup of tea for a hot summer day, glad i tried this out but i didnt put mint.
Awesome took barely and time or effort to make.
Two boys age 8 and 6 made this all on their lonesome and sold it instead of making a lemonade stand for 25c a cup! Haha loved it.
Instead of granulated sugar I used brown the strawberries are already sweet and too much sugar makes it overbearing.
Mine came out very chunky.
Good but not sure what the point of the teabags are when you got perfectly good strawberry puree?
This looks lovely and taste lovely too 10/10 recipe wish I could leave it with more stars.
Jelena and her perfect recipes..very happy ty.
