Instructions:
-
Brew the Tea: Begin by pouring the boiling water into a medium bowl and adding the tea bags. Ensure the tea bags are fully submerged in the water.
-
Steep the Tea: Cover the bowl and let the tea steep at room temperature for approximately 30 minutes. This allows the tea to infuse fully, enhancing its flavor.
-
Squeeze the Tea Bags: After steeping, remove the tea bags from the bowl and set them aside on a small plate. Once the tea bags have cooled slightly, gently squeeze them to extract every last drop of flavor.
-
Chill the Tea: Transfer the brewed tea to a pitcher and chill it in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight. Chilling the tea ensures that it is thoroughly cooled and ready for blending.
-
Prepare the Smoothie Base: In a blender, combine the chilled tea, frozen sliced strawberries, sugar, and ice cubes. Depending on the size of your blender, you may need to blend the ingredients in two batches to ensure thorough mixing.
-
Blend Until Frothy: Blend the ingredients on high speed until the mixture is smooth and frothy. This typically takes just a few minutes, depending on the power of your blender.
-
Serve and Garnish: Pour the blended smoothie into chilled glasses or stemware. Garnish each serving with fresh strawberries and a mint leaf for a decorative touch.
