Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Fresh strawberries
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 cups Water
• 2 units Black tea bags
• 3 cups Cold sparkling water
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 cup Ice cubes
• 4 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the strawberries thoroughly and hull them by removing the green stems.

Step 2

In a blender, combine the strawberries, granulated sugar, and 0.5 cups of water. Blend until smooth, then strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl to remove the seeds. Set the strawberry puree aside.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, bring the remaining 1.5 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and add the black tea bags. Let them steep for 5 minutes, then remove the tea bags and allow the tea to cool completely.

Step 4

In a large pitcher, combine the cooled tea, strawberry puree, and lemon juice. Stir well to mix.

Step 5

Add the sparkling water to the pitcher and stir gently to preserve the fizziness.

Step 6

To serve, fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the sparkling strawberry tea over the ice.

Step 7

Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired, and serve immediately for maximum freshness and fizz.
