Ingredients:

• 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 1 quart cold brewed tea (preferably green or black)
• 1/4 cup honey or a natural sweetener of your choice
• 1 small bunch of fresh mint leaves
• Juice of 1 lemon
• Ice cubes
• Extra mint sprigs and strawberry slices for garnish

Instructions:

1. Start by washing the fresh strawberries thoroughly. Hull and slice them into thin pieces. As you slice, relish the sweet aroma of the berries filling your kitchen.
2. In a large pitcher, combine the sliced strawberries and fresh mint leaves. Gently muddle them using a wooden spoon to release their juices and flavors.
3. Pour in the cold brewed tea over the muddled mixture. Stir in the honey or sweetener until it fully dissolves, adding a touch of natural sweetness to the blend.
4. Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice to the pitcher, enhancing the tea with a zesty, tangy kick.
5. Fill serving glasses with ice cubes and pour the strawberry mint tea over the ice. The contrast of the chilled glass and the fresh, vibrant tea is simply refreshing.
6. Garnish with extra mint sprigs and slices of strawberry for an appealing presentation. Enjoy the sight of your colorful creation!

Helpful Tips and Variations:

• If strawberries are out of season, frozen strawberries work just as well. Thaw them before use for the best flavor.
• For a sugar-free option, replace honey with stevia or your preferred natural sweetener.
• Serving idea: Serve in mason jars or chilled glasses with paper straws for a fun, family-friendly presentation.
• Make it a party: Double or triple the recipe for gatherings and serve alongside a variety of fresh fruit and light snacks.

Storage and Substitutions:

• Refrigerate any leftover tea in an airtight container for up to 2 days. The flavors will continue to meld, making it even more delicious the next day.
• If fresh mint isn’t available, you can use a few drops of mint extract for a similar refreshing taste.

Pairings and Complements:

• This Strawberry Mint Tea pairs wonderfully with light snacks like cucumber sandwiches, fruit skewers, or a fresh garden salad.
• For dessert, enjoy with shortbread cookies or a berry tart to complement the fruity theme.
