- Nutritional Info – Please keep in mind that nutritional information provided is only a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on products used.
- For best and intense strawberry flavors in the tea use fresh very ripe red strawberries.
- Vary the number of tea bags to adjust the strength of the tea. For stronger tea, use extra tea bag and steep for extra 5 minutes. If you like lighter tea reduce the number of tea bags and steep for 3 to 5 minutes only.
- Feel free to switch black tea bags with green tea bags if you like green tea better than black tea.
- Sweet strawberry tea can be stored refrigerated for 3 to 5 days. Make ahead a big pitcher of the tea.
