Notes:

  • You will definitely want to chill the tea or ice it down before serving or it will be lukewarm, and I don’t know anyone who likes lukewarm iced tea. Gross.
  • Be sure to taste the tea before adding ice to make sure you enjoy the level of strawberry and sugar. Everyone differs!
  • Do not leave the tea bags to steep longer than 5 minutes or you risk the tea tasting too bitter. If you like it like that, go for it, but I definitely don’t, so I make sure and pull them out at 5 minutes on the dot.
  • For the strawberry simple syrup, you can also use just strawberry syrup as well (NOT the stuff for ice cream). Each brand differs, so I would start out with a third of the amount of syrup and go from there to make sure you don’t ruin your batch of tea.
  • I tend to make my own strawberry simple syrup, but Rose’s Simple Syrup or Torani Strawberry Syrup are both great options I use as well.
  • Dissolving the sugar when the water is at its hottest is the best time to do it. Don’t make the mistake of adding the sugar after it’s cooled or it will never fully dissolve.
  • Lipton is one of my favorite brands for tea bags when it comes to iced tea, but any brand will do. However, be sure to check the strength because brands differ.
