Strawberry Lemonade Tea

The "lemonade" flavor in this tea comes from using lemon tea bags - which makes the taste fairly subtle. If you want a more lemon taste, you can add more lemon to the recipe. This tea is thicker than most because of the club soda, so you can add more or less to get the consistency that you desire. This tea is also naturally sweetened by the strawberries. If you are looking for a sweeter tea, you can add strawberries that are frozen in syrup.

Ingredients

• 6 lemon tea bags
• 4 cups boiling water
• 24 ounces strawberry puree
• 1 bottle club soda or sparkling water

Directions

1. To make the puree, place fresh or frozen strawberries in a blender for 1 minute.
2. Steep tea bags in boiling water for 5 minutes. Gently squeeze the tea bags and remove them.
3. Allow the tea to cool. In a large pitcher combine tea concentrate with strawberry puree.
4. Add sparkling water. Stir well and serve over ice.
