My nana used to make this in huge batches and gift them to neighbors in mason jars! Now I’m doing the same (Page 2 ) | July 31, 2024

Preparation

1. In a small pot, combine half a cup of water and sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
2. Add the strawberries to the syrup and return to a simmer, then reduce heat and let the mixture cook for about 10 minutes, until the strawberries are soft and have released their color.

3. Meanwhile, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil in a large pot. Remove from heat, add the tea bags, and steep for 5-7 minutes, depending on how strong you like your tea. Remove the tea bags and discard them.
4. With a fine mesh strainer, strain the strawberry syrup into the tea, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.

5. Add the remaining cold water to the tea and strawberry mixture, then chill in the refrigerator until it’s thoroughly cold.

6. Serve over ice, garnished with fresh mint leaves and lemon slices if desired.
