About This Recipe
Strawberry Tea is a red sweet, fruity, and freshly brewed tea that is made with fresh strawberries. So when summer sets in, and the market is flooded with fresh red strawberries, do not miss out on this refreshing beverage.
It is a great tea if you want to give your everyday beverage a break and try something healthier and fruity. It is tasty, yes but it is also very beneficial for our health. I have made it hot but you can definitely let it cool down, add some ice, and serve it chilled.
This strawberry tea is,
- Healthy
- Refreshing
- Easy to make
- Loaded with fresh strawberries
- Better than the store-bought ones
- Perfect for your evening beverage
Ingredients
To make this tea, you need just three Ingredients,
Strawberries – Try to use fresh strawberries to make this tea, as they give the maximum flavor. If fresh strawberries are not available, you can use frozen ones too.
Honey – Add honey to sweeten the tea. Adjust the amount according to your taste. You can also add sugar or sugar-free substitutes.
Tea Leaves – Then along with water, we will need green tea. I have used bags here, but you can use loose tea as well. You can use any green tea, that is usually bought at your home. You can even make this tea using black tea power.
How to make Strawberry Tea?
Start by preparing the strawberries. Wash the strawberries with water to remove any dirt and then chop off the top leafy part. Chop the remaining berry into small pieces. You will need 10-12 large strawberries to get ¾ cup of chopped berries.
Add 4 cups of water and ½ cup chopped strawberries in a medium size pan and bring the mixture to a boil.
When the water starts to boil, switch off the heat. Add honey to the pan. Adjust the amount of honey according to your taste. You can skip it too. You can also add any sweetener of your choice to this drink.
Dip the green tea bags in the pan and let them steep for 1 minute. Other tea like chamomile, black tea, earl grey also works well in this recipe.
Add the remaining ¼ cup chopped strawberries in 4 serving cups.
Strain the tea in the cups using a tea strainer and discard the cooked strawberries.
Serve immediately.
Frequently Asked Questions
You can also experiment with the flavor of this tea by using other fruits such as mango, peach, watermelon, pineapple, etc.
When frozen, strawberries tend to lose their sweet and tangy flavor over time and thus don’t give good results when used in this tea.
Therefore, I will recommend you to make this tea using only fresh strawberries.
If you like your tea cold, then you can also make a strawberry iced tea with the same ingredients. Just let the boiling water cool down a bit and add ice to make it chilled.
This strawberry iced tea is a perfect party drink or summertime treat and has an amazing flavor from the fruity strawberries and freshly brewed green tea.
One more variation that is popular is strawberry acai tea or strawberry acai refresher, which is available in almost all Starbucks stores.
Both the tea uses fresh strawberries but strawberry tea uses green tea, whereas strawberry acai tea uses green coffee powder and acai powder instead.
Yes, you can! You can either make the syrup at home or use the store bought ones.
Health Benefits
There are a lot of benefits of this tea, one because of the use of green tea in the recipe and second, because of the strawberries.
