The original recipe called for raspberry red leaf tea. In the updated version, I use black tea. You can use either for this recipe!
Quick tips and tricks for homemade fruit tea with strawberries
- Use your favorite tea bags. I have a ton of black tea bags, so that's what I used here, but I've also made this tea with raspberry leaf tea, which gives it a pretty pink color.
- What's in season? If it's strawberry season, use fresh strawberries. If it's not, use frozen strawberries. This way, you'll be using the sweetest strawberries for your sweet tea.
- Store the tea in a pitcher in the fridge. If you like hot tea, you can pour it into a mug and heat it up. If you're a fan of strawberry iced tea, you can simply pour it into a glass over ice and enjoy chilled.
