How to make Iced tea ?

Make a simple syrup with the strawberry in it and brew some tea in it. Add some ice cubes slices of strawberry,lemon wedges and mint and make it pretty.

Is strawberry puree a good substitute ?

• Strawberry puree will make the tea really cloudy and thick like smoothie. So go for the simple syrup instead.
• Replace 1 cup water with sparkling water or soda for extra punch.

Fresh Fruit Simple Syrup Is the Key

Fresh fruit simple syrups are one of the easiest to make at home. It adds color and flavor to drinks, as the fruit flavor gets really concentrated and brightens up any drink.
