- 6 cups water
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 1 piece lemon, thinly sliced
- 1 piece orange, thinly sliced
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 10 leaves fresh mint leaves

Instructions
Bring 6 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan or kettle.
Once boiling, remove the water from heat and steep 4 black tea bags in the hot water for 5 minutes. Adjust steeping time for stronger or weaker tea.
Remove the tea bags and stir in 4 tablespoons of honey while the tea is still warm. Allow the tea mixture to cool to room temperature.
In a large pitcher, combine the sliced lemon, orange, and strawberries.
Add the fresh mint leaves to the pitcher, gently crushing them with a spoon to release their flavor.
