4 cups water

4 black tea bags

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

3/4 cup sugar (or to taste)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Ice cubes

Instructions
 

In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.

    Once the water is boiling, remove it from heat and add the black tea bags. Let them steep for about 5–7 minutes, depending on your desired tea strength.

      While the tea is steeping, in a blender, combine the fresh strawberries and sugar. Blend until smooth.

        Once the tea is ready, remove the tea bags and stir in the strawberry puree and lemon juice. Mix well until the sugar is completely dissolved.

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

            To serve, fill a glass with ice cubes and pour the chilled strawberry sweet tea over the ice.

              Garnish with fresh mint leaves and a few sliced strawberries for an extra touch. Enjoy your refreshing drink!
