Strawberry-Mint Iced Tea

3 Comments

Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

Strawberry Mint Iced Tea with strawberries

Strawberry-Mint Iced Tea is refreshing and the perfect summer cooler. If you have mint growing in your garden, then you have a lot of mint! Such a beautiful and fragrant plant. I can still remember it in my grandmother’s garden when I was growing up.  And big juicy, ripe strawberries go so perfectly with mint that I can’t believe I never thought of this combination before.

This recipe is sweet enough on its own, but you can customize the sweetness to your preference. And it’s caffeine free!

    Very yummy and the color is so bright and pretty! I do not like my ice tea getting watered down when I put it over ice so I freeze some of the tea in old fashion ice cube trays and pour the tea over “tea cubes. Thanks Sally, this was wonderful and refreshing.
