Ingredients
To make this tea, you need just three Ingredients,
Strawberries – Always use fresh strawberries to make this tea, as they give the maximum flavor while boiling.
Honey – As strawberries are not that sweet, we will add honey in this tea. Honey is a healthy alternative, but you can add sugar too.
Tea Leaves – Then along with water, we will need GreenTea Bags. 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.
Step By Step Recipe
Mix water and 1/2 cup strawberries in a pan and bring to a boil.
When the water starts to boil, switch off the heat. Add honey in the pan. Dip the tea bags in the pan. Let them steep for 2 minutes.
Add the remaining 1/4 cup strawberries in 4 cups.
Strain the tea in the cups. Serve immediately.
Frequently Asked Questions

Therefore, I will recommend you to make this Tea using only fresh Strawberries.

Yes, you can! You can either make the syrup at home or use the store bought ones.
As we are making it with fresh strawberries, I would recommend you to make it fresh.
If you want to make this ahead, you can make Strawberry Syrup and store it in the fridge for about 3 days.
