Iced Strawberry Green Tea Recipe
About Iced Strawberry Green Tea
I was raised in Texas, and there is one big thing that everyone loves, and that is their sweet tea. It was a stable in my house as a kid as much as milk; my mom even had one of those ice tea brewers to save time. As an adult, I still love my sweet tea, but I'm always looking for ways to spice it up. I came across a recipe for Iced Strawberry Green Tea on the back of a frozen strawberry package and tried it out. Well, it was good. It was not sweet enough for me, so I did a recipe makeover, which I came up. My family and friends now love this tea, and I'm always asked to bring it for dinner parties.
