STRAWBERRY BASIL ICED TEA

 

Ingredients:
900 ml hot water
2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries
Juice of 1/2 lime + 2-3 slices of lime
*2 tbsp herbal loose tea (I used elderberry healer blend; hibiscus works well too)
2-3 tbsp honey or sweetener of choice
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup fresh mint

Directions:
1. Blend the strawberries into a purée and add lime juice. If you’re using frozen strawberries, microwave them for a couple of minutes before blending.

2. Add all the ingredients to a teapot. Stir, cover with a lid, and let it steep for 10-15 minutes if you’d like to enjoy it hot. Alternatively, let it cool completely and serve over ice.

*Notes: I added extra whole strawberries for aesthetic reasons, but you don’t have to—you can just blend everything. ♥️
