Southern-Style Strawberry Sweet Tea

  

🍓 Southern-Style Strawberry Sweet Tea 🍋

This sunshine-sweet sipper is summer in a glass! Bold black tea infused with fresh strawberry syrup and just the right kiss of lemon—*perfectly balanced, refreshingly cold, and 100% porch-worthy*. Sip it on a swing, serve it at BBQs, or gift it in mason jars for instant Southern charm.

But let’s be honest—some fruit teas miss the mark. Maybe they’re too sugary. Maybe the fruit flavor fades. Or worst of all—they taste like flavored water with identity issues.

So what’s the secret to strawberry tea that actually tastes like ripe berries?

It all comes down to three Southern-approved tricks: the tea steeping time, the strawberry syrup method, and one surprise ingredient that makes the flavors pop.

Ready to brew up the most refreshing drink of the season?
