Strawberry Hibiscus Iced Tea is a refreshing, caffeine-free summer drink bursting with fruity and floral flavors. Made with real strawberries and hibiscus tea, this vibrant red beverage is perfect for gatherings, picnics, or everyday sipping.

Ingredients

3 cups sliced strawberries

2 cups water (for strawberry syrup)

1 cup sugar (adjust to taste)

3 family-sized hibiscus tea bags (or ½ cup dried hibiscus flowers)

3 cups boiling water

8 cups cold water

Juice of 1 lemon

Ice cubes

Fresh strawberries and lemon slices (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Prepare Strawberry Syrup:
    In a saucepan, combine sliced strawberries, 2 cups water, and sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes until the syrup thickens. Strain into a large pitcher, pressing to extract all juice. Discard solids.

  •  Hibiscus Tea:
    Steep tea bags in 3 cups of boiling water for 5 minutes. Remove tea bags. Sweeten if desired.

  • Combine and Chill:
    Add hibiscus tea to the pitcher with strawberry syrup. Mix in 8 cups cold water and lemon juice. Stir well and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

  • Serve:
    Pour over ice in glasses. Garnish with fresh strawberries and lemon slices.

Notes

  • Minty Freshness: Add mint leaves during brewing for extra refreshment.

  • Berry Variations: Try adding blueberries or raspberries for a fruity twist.

  • Sparkling Swap: Use sparkling water in place of still for fizz

  • Frozen Strawberries: Can be used, just thaw before making syrup.
