Instructions
Step 1: Brew the Tea
Bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Remove from the heat, add the tea bags, and let steep for 5–7 minutes. Remove the tea bags and stir in the sugar until dissolved.
Step 2: Prepare the Strawberry Syrup
In a small saucepan, combine the strawberries, ½ cup water, and ½ cup sugar. Simmer over medium heat for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries soften and release their juices.
Step 3: Strain the Syrup
Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl or measuring cup, pressing gently on the berries to extract as much syrup as possible. Discard the solids or save them for another use.
Step 4: Combine
