Ingredients
  

4 cups water

4 black tea bags (or green tea bags for a lighter flavor)

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Ice cubes

Instructions
 

In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium heat.

    Once the water is boiling, remove it from heat and add the tea bags. Let them steep for 5-7 minutes, depending on how strong you want the tea.

      While the tea is steeping, place the sliced strawberries in a bowl and mash them slightly with a fork to release their juices.

        After the tea has steeped, remove the tea bags and stir in the sugar while the tea is still warm. This will help the sugar dissolve completely.

          Add in the mashed strawberries and the lemon juice, stirring well to combine all flavors.

            Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill well.

              When ready to serve, fill glasses with ice and pour the chilled strawberry sweet tea over the ice.

                Garnish each glass with a sprig of fresh mint for a refreshing touch.
