Make Hot Strawberry Tea
- Add water and strawberries to a medium-sized saucepan and boil over medium-high heat.
- Once the water comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Switch off the heat, add green tea to the pan, and stir gently.
- 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 feel 2 minutes is a perfect brewing time.
