Ingredients
- 3/4 cup boiling water
- 1 T jasmine green tea leaves
- 5 medium strawberries diced
- 1 T granulated sugar
- ice and/or chopped frozen strawberries
- sparkling water chilled
- maple syrup or agave to sweeten
Instructions
-
Let the tea steep in the boiling water for 5-10 minutes. I think 7 is perfect, but adjust accordingly depending on your tastes. Refrigerate until cold.
-
Combine the strawberries and sugar, then let sit until juicy, at least 15 minutes. You can puree the strawberries if you want less texture or a more fruity tea, or if you're lazy, don't. It's delicious either way.
-
In a tall glass, add the ice and/or frozen strawberries, sugared strawberries (if you opted to not puree them, I'd recommend smashing them a bit with a spoon) and cold tea. Top off with the sparkling water. Stir in maple syrup to sweeten, and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
If you want more strawberry flavor, you can add more fresh strawberries, ground freeze-dried strawberries, strawberry jam, etc. Go as strawberry crazy as you want (:
Any liquid sweetener works if you don't have or want to use maple syrup or agave. I like adding it at the end instead of with the hot tea, since it's easier to account for the strawberries' sweetness when you add it at the end.
