Prepare a refreshing iced green tea flavored with fresh strawberries and mint leaves.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups water
  • 4 green tea bags (or 2 tablespoons loose leaf green tea)
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, lightly crushed
  • 1/4 cup simple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • Ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 cups of water until just before boiling (about 175°F or 80°C). Do not use boiling water for green tea.
  2. Place the green tea bags or loose leaf tea in a heatproof container. Pour the hot water over the tea.
  3. Steep the tea for 3 minutes. Remove the tea bags or strain the leaves.
  4. While the tea is still warm, add the sliced strawberries and crushed mint leaves to the brewed tea.
  5. Let the mixture steep for 15 minutes to infuse the flavors.
  6. Strain the tea mixture into a pitcher, pressing gently on the strawberries and mint to extract liquid. Discard the solids.
  7. Stir in the simple syrup until dissolved.
  8. Add the remaining 2 cups of cold water to the pitcher.
  9. Chill the tea in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  10. Serve the tea over ice, garnishing each glass with a fresh strawberry slice and a mint sprig.

Notes

  • For a less sweet drink, reduce the simple syrup or substitute with 2 tablespoons of honey.
  • If you prefer a stronger strawberry flavor, muddle half of the strawberries before adding them to the warm tea.
  • You can substitute frozen strawberries, but allow them to thaw slightly before adding them to the warm tea.
