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).

Amazing! I served this to my friends at our summer BBQ, and everyone loved it! The strawberry twist is delightful, and the mint garnish made it extra refreshing. We'll be making this all season long!
Sencillo, delicioso, refrescante. Hice esta bebida para un picnic con amigos y todos estaban encantados. La combinación de fresa y menta es perfecta para el calor. Definitivamente voy a hacerlo otra vez y compartir la receta.
The mint was a bit overwhelming to be honest, not bad but I'm not adding any mint next time for sure.
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.
