Simmer the teabags for 10 minutes? Why so long? I was taught to bring water to boil, take it off the heat , add the bags to steep so it wouldn’t get bitter.

This is really delicious, however, I personally don’t like all of those seeds in my drink so I ran the puree through a fine mesh strainer to remove the seeds and then put that in the tea. Fantastic.

This is just the recipe I was looking for! I wanted something that didn t cook the strawberries down in sugar. It really allows the strawberries to keep their delicious flavor. Thank you for the recipe! I look forward to following you and trying your recipes.
