Southern Strawberry Sweet Iced Tea

I am normally not a huge fan of flavored iced teas. I am a plain type of girl I guess. I drink my coffee black and my plain black iced tea will occasionally boast a lemon wedge or two. The store bought bottles of iced tea can never compare to a fresh brewed at home glass of tea. Every time I have tried a flavored iced tea from the bottles, the flavor just doesn’t do it for me. I am a fan of Starbucks Passion Tea Lemonade and I make a CopyCat Starbucks Passion Tea Lemonade at home very frequently.

A few weeks ago, I made a homemade fresh Peach Iced Tea and the flavors were great. The flavors were so much better than a store bought bottle.

Since I am a huge fan of strawberries and I found a great $0.99 sale this past week, I decide to make a homemade Strawberry Iced Tea. I usually do not like sugar in my tea and this recipe does include sugar. The sugar and strawberries blended with the black tea was AMAZING.

If you are looking for a great Lemon Squeezer, you can hop on over to Amazon and score this Prepworks from Progressive International Lemon Squeezer. I purchased it and really like this one best for getting the juice from my lemons easily. I have owned quite a few lemon juicers and I really like this one.
