Refreshing Strawberry Iced Tea

  • Time preparation 10 minutes, plus cooling
  • Serve Serves 1 litre

Recipe taken from Wild Tea: Brew your own teas and infusions from home-grown and foraged ingredients, by Nick Moyle & Richard Hood (Welbeck, £16.99)
  • 1 litre water
  • 4 tsp black tea or 4 black tea bags
  • 8 tsp sugar
  • Juice of ½ a lemon
  • 500 g fresh strawberries, plus a few more to serve

Boil 500ml of water and pour it over the tea and sugar, stirring to dissolve the sugar, and let it stand for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, hull and roughly chop the strawberries, place in a blender and blend until smooth.

When the tea has steeped, strain it into the blended strawberries, give it a stir and strain through a fine sieve. For maximum juice extraction, try pressing the mix with the back of a spoon to force it through the tiny holes

Add the lemon juice and a further 500 ml (16 fl oz) cold water then place in the fridge to chill. Stir before serving, adding ice to your glass and garnishing with a few slices of fresh strawberries.
