How to Make Strawberry Iced Tea

Pour the tea into a ceramic or glass mixing bowl. Add the 1/3 (or more) cup of sugar and the lemon juice. Stir thoroughly to dissolve the sugar. Test to see if it requires additional sweetening or lemon juice and adjust accordingly.

Set aside to cool.

Put several strawberries to one side for garnish. Puree the remaining strawberries. Push the puree through a fine-sieve to remove pips, etc. Press on the mixture with the back of a wooden spoon.

Once the tea has cooled, add the puree and mix through thoroughly. Place in the refrigerator for at least a half hour to chill.

Serve. Add crushed ice to the base of an ice tea glass. Pour in a serve of strawberry iced tea per glass. Add several strawberries (whole or sliced) to the side of the glass as a garnish. Add a straw.
