# How to Make It:
01 -
Drop some ice in your glasses, pour your iced tea over it, and throw in mint and strawberry slices if you like.
02 -
Grab a big pitcher. Pour in your cooled syrup, brewed tea, the rest of the water, and fresh lemon juice. Stir it up until it’s all even.
03 -
While the tea’s still hot, dump in your 100 g sugar. Stir until you don’t see granules anymore.
04 -
In a small clean pot, boil 480 ml water. Turn off the heat, dunk in tea bags, and let them sit for 5 minutes. Then chuck the bags.
05 -
Take your pot off the stove. Pour the mixture through a colander or strainer into a container, toss out the chunks, and let the syrup get cold.
06 -
In a little saucepan, throw in sliced berries, sugar, and the water. Set it over medium heat and stir now and then, cooking about half an hour until the berries break down.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
You’ll get the best-tasting syrup if your strawberries are bright red and really ripe.
02 -
Stash leftover syrup in a jar for up to 3 days in the fridge.
03 -
You can switch out black tea for green or caffeine-free if that’s your thing.
04 -
It tastes best if you drink it the same day you make it.
