This Iced Strawberry Tea is a summer staple! It’s a refreshing drink that you’ll be making all summer long, it’s made with natural ingredients, and tastes amazing!

Sure you can buy iced tea at the store, but why buy it if you can make your own at home? It’s so easy to make, and easily customizable to suit your taste.

We grow strawberries every summer, and I enjoy using them in different recipes. I love making strawberry lemonade, this easy iced strawberry tea, and use strawberries for baking in recipes like this delicious fresh strawberry pie, tender strawberry scones, strawberry waffles, strawberry galette, and these strawberry oatmeal bars. I mean, it’s the strawberry season, so why not use fresh strawberries to make all of these tasty treats?!

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  1. Quick & Easy – You only need a few simple ingredients and just 15 minutes of your time to make this delicious strawberry tea!
  2. Customizable – Love the flavor of strong tea? Add more tea! Want it sweeter? Add an extra fourth cup of sugar.
  3. Refreshing – This iced strawberry tea will sure drench anyone’s thirst on a hot summer day!

Ingredients In Recipe

  • Fresh strawberries – hull fresh strawberries and blend them in a food processor. You can also use a fine mesh strainer to get rid of the seeds if you like. I recommend using fresh strawberries to make this iced tea, but frozen strawberries work in a pinch! Just make sure to thaw the strawberries before pureeing them.
  • Tea bags – Just like my mother always made this drink, I add tea bags of pure black tea. Have a tea that you like more? Use that!
  • Sugar – Plain granulated sugar to sweeten your iced tea.
  • Lemon – So the lemon juice is totally optional, but I love the tanginess in my iced tea. I think it balances the sweetness very well, so I strongly recommend adding lemon juice to your iced tea.
  • Water.

Complete list of ingredients and amounts can be found in the recipe card below.

Ingredients needed to make iced strawberry tea including fresh strawberries, tea bags, water, lemon, and sugar.

How To Make Iced Strawberry Tea

  1. In a food processor, blend the hulled strawberries into a puree (20-30 seconds). Set aside.
  2. Boil 1 cup of water in a saucepan, or in a bowl in the microwave. Add tea bags to the water, and steep the tea.
  3. Remove the tea bags, add the sugar, and stir until dissolved.
  4. To a glass pitcher, add the strawberry puree, tea, the remaining water, and lemon juice.
  5. Stir, and chill in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.
  6. For a nice presentation, add ice cubes, sliced fresh strawberries and fresh mint leaves to the pitcher.

Tip!

Chill the iced tea for at least two hours before serving. Add a few ice cubes right before serving.

Tips For Making The Best Iced Strawberry Tea

  • Get rid of the strawberry seeds. This is totally optional, but if you like super smooth drink, then use a fine mesh strainer to get rid of the seeds.
  • Make it as sweet as you like. The sweetness of the drink will depend on the sweetness of the strawberries, the amount of sugar, and the amount of water added. So feel free to adjust the sweetness level to your likeness.
