Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups Water
- 4 pieces Black tea bags
- 6 pieces Fresh strawberries
- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon Honey (optional)
- 2 cups Ice cubes
Instructions
1. Start by rinsing the strawberries and mint leaves under cold water. Remove the strawberry stems and slice them into halves or quarters depending on their size.
2. In a large glass jar or pitcher, add the black tea bags, sliced strawberries, and fresh mint leaves.
3. Pour the 8 cups of room-temperature water into the jar, completely submerging the tea bags, strawberries, and mint.
4. Cover the jar or pitcher with a lid or plastic wrap to keep it clean and free of debris.
5. Place the jar in a sunny spot outdoors or near a sunny window indoors. Allow it to steep for about 3-4 hours, or until the tea reaches your desired strength.
6. Once the tea is brewed to your liking, remove the jar from the sunlight. Take out the tea bags and strain the tea using a fine-mesh strainer to remove the strawberries and mint leaves.
7. Sweeten the tea with honey, if desired, and stir until dissolved.
8. Serve the strawberry mint sun tea over ice cubes in glasses. Garnish with additional fresh strawberries or mint leaves if desired.
