Instructions
-
Steep the Tea:
- Begin by bringing the water to a boil in a kettle. Once it reaches a rolling boil, place the tea bags in the water and let them steep for at least 30 minutes. This allows the spiced tea to fully develop its flavors.
-
Prepare the Drink Mix:
- While the tea is steeping, prepare a half-gallon pitcher. Once the tea has steeped, pour the still hot tea into the pitcher. Add the strawberry lemonade drink mix into the pitcher. Stir gently until the mix is completely dissolved.
-
Add Cold Water:
- To finish the drink, fill the pitcher the rest of the way with cold water. Stir everything together, ensuring the flavors are well blended.
-
Adjust the Sweetness (Optional):
- Taste the beverage. If you prefer it sweeter, consider adding a bit of sugar rather than more lemonade mix. Adding more lemonade will make the drink taste more like lemonade, potentially overshadowing the spiced tea flavor.
-
Serve & Enjoy:
- Serve the Spiced Strawberry Lemonade Tea chilled and enjoy a cool, tangy drink that’s perfect for hot summer days!
Recipe Tips:
- This drink is a great option for kids and adults alike. It’s low in calories and very refreshing.
- You can easily adjust the sweetness to suit your preferences. For a sweeter drink, add sugar or honey rather than extra lemonade.
- It pairs well with light snacks or can be enjoyed as a standalone thirst-quencher.
