    About Strawberry Tea

    Strawberry Tea is a red, sweet, fruity, and freshly brewed tea that is flavored with fresh summer strawberries. When summer sets in, and the market is flooded with red juicy strawberries, I stock my fridge with these beauties, and this tea is made on a roll!

    It is a great sweet tea if you want to give your everyday beverage a break and try something healthier and fruity. It has no artificial colors or flavors, tastes just like store-bought drinks, and can be made sugar-free. 

    Strawberry-flavored tea is tasty, yes but it also has many health benefits and that’s why I like to include it in my daily diet.

    It helps in curing ailments like diarrhea, skin inflammation, and joint pains. This tea is rich in antioxidants, vitamin C, potassium, and manganese and also helps the brain function faster.

    So what are you waiting for, if it’s the strawberry season, buy some and make this refreshing drink for yourself.

    Bonus, I am sharing 2 ways to make strawberry green tea. Serve it hot or add a few ice cubes to the glass and serve chilled.

    I have tons of beverage recipes on the blog. Do check them out too.

    This recipe can be scaled easily.

    Ingredients

    Strawberry tea ingredients.

    Strawberries – Fresh strawberries are the best to make this tea.

    Honey – I used honey to sweeten the tea. You can also use agave syrup, maple syrup, white or brown sugar, or sugar-free substitutes like stevia or monk fruit. Adjust the amount as per your taste.

    Tea Leaves – I have used loose green tea here, but you can use tea bags as well. Other tea like black tea, chamomile, black tea, and earl grey also works well in this recipe. For best results, make sure you brew the tea to the proper temperature and for the recommended amount of time.

    Variation – If you are like me and love to make adult versions of their drinks, then chill the brewed tea, add a splash of vodka, and pour it over ice. I promise you this unique cocktail will be your summer favorite.

    How To Make Strawberry Tea

    Strawberry Tea Using Chopped Strawberries

    Preparation

    Start by preparing the strawberries. Wash 10-12 strawberries and chop off their top leafy part. Chop them into small pieces.

    Make Hot Strawberry Green Tea

    Add 4 cups of water and ½ cup of chopped strawberries to a medium-sized saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.

    Water and strawberries added to a pan.

    Once the water comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2-3 minutes.

    Switch off the heat and add 2 teaspoon loose green tea leaves (or 2 tea bags) to the pan and stir gently.

    Green tea leaves added to the pan.

    Cover the pan with a lid and let the tea steep for 2 minutes.

    Do not brew the tea for longer, otherwise, it may turn bitter. I personally feel 2 minutes is a perfect brewing time.

    Pan covered with a lid.

    Add 2 tablespoon honey and mix well.

    Note – According to Ayurveda, cooking honey destroys its medicinal benefits. So always add it to your recipes after switching off the heat.

    Honey added to the pan.

    Divide the remaining ¼ cup of chopped strawberries between 4 serving cups.

    Chopped strawberries added to a glass.

    Strain the tea in the cups using a tea strainer and discard the cooked strawberries.

    Serve immediately.

    Make Strawberry Iced Tea

    Once the tea is ready, strain it and cool it to room temperature. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours.

    Note – Making iced tea while the brewed tea is still warm will melt your ice and you’ll be left with a watery room-temperature drink.

    Add chopped strawberries and 1-2 lime slices to the serving glass.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How to make strawberry milk tea?

    You can make this tea with milk too. Brew 2 green tea bags in 2 cups of water. Puree the strawberries. Stir together brewed tea, pureed strawberries, and 2 cups of chilled milk. Pour over ice and serve chilled. You can also add boba pearls to this tea.

    Can we use frozen strawberries to make strawberry tea?

    No, frozen strawberries tend to lose their sweet and tangy flavor over time and don’t give good results when used in this tea.

    Therefore, I will recommend you make this tea using only fresh strawberries.

    Can we make strawberry green tea using other fruits?

    Yes, you can try combining strawberries with other fruits like mangoes, peaches, watermelon, pineapple, etc.

    Storage Suggestions

    If you are looking to drink it warm, I recommend making it fresh. But if you plan to sip it chilled, then you can brew this tea and refrigerate it for up to a day.
