Place the boiling water and sugar in a medium mixing bowl.

Stir until the sugar is dissolved.

Remove the tea bags from their wrappers and remove the string, gently.

Place all 5 tea bags in the boiling water. Allow to steep for 5 minutes.

Carefully, squeeze the water out of the tea bags and discard them.

Add the strawberry syrup to the bowl and stir well.

Add the cold water to a pitcher and follow it with the bowl of tea mixture. Stir well.

Add ice to both the pitcher and your glasses, if desired, and pour the tea into the glasses.

Garnish each glass with a strawberry slice, if you like, and enjoy!
