How to Make Strawberry Ice Tea
- In a large saucepan, combine 2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries, 1 cup brown sugar, and 4 cups water.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves completely and the strawberries soften (about 5-7 minutes).
- Using a vegetable peeler, remove thin strips of zest from 2 lemons (avoiding the white pith).
- Juice the 2 lemons, yielding approximately 1/2 cup of juice.
- Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary to the strawberry mixture in the saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally. Once boiling, immediately remove from heat.
- Cover the saucepan and allow the tea to cool completely to room temperature (approximately 1-2 hours).
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl or pitcher, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
- To serve, fill a glass with ice.
- Add 1/2 cup of the chilled strawberry tea to each glass.
- Add syrup to taste (start with 1-2 tablespoons and adjust).
- Garnish with fresh strawberries and a sprig of rosemary.
- Makes approximately 8 servings.
