Notes

  • This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled if you're serving fruit tea to a crowd.
  • The original recipe called for raspberry red leaf tea. In the updated version, I use black tea. You can use either for this recipe!
  • Use your favorite tea bags. I have a ton of black tea bags, so that's what I used here, but I've also made this tea with raspberry leaf tea, which gives it a pretty pink color.
  • What's in season? If it's strawberry season, use fresh strawberries. If it's not, use frozen strawberries. This way, you'll be using the sweetest strawberries for your sweet tea.
  • Store the tea in a pitcher in the fridge. If you like hot tea, you can pour it into a mug and heat it up. If you're a fan of strawberry iced tea, you can simply pour it into a glass over ice and enjoy chilled.
