Ingredients

4 cups water

4 tea bags (black tea or green tea)

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

1/2 cup sugar (adjust for sweetness preference)

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.

Once boiling, remove the pot from heat and add the tea bags. Steep for about 5-7 minutes, depending on your desired strength.

While the tea is steeping, in a separate bowl, combine sliced strawberries and sugar. Muddle the strawberries using a fork or muddler to release their juices and dissolve the sugar. Set aside for about 5-10 minutes.

After the tea has steeped, remove the tea bags and stir in the muddled strawberry mixture along with the lemon juice.

Allow the sweet tea to cool to room temperature, then transfer it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour.

Serve over ice in glasses and garnish with fresh mint leaves for a refreshing touch.
