This looks simply amazing. What a clever girl you are. As soon as the weather warms up here in the freezing blue mountains of New South Wales, Australia, I shall be making this.
Your recipe says to add teabags and cover for 1 hour. Is that a
error? Seems like an awfully long time to leave the teabags in.
Hi Janet,
No, that’s how long I steep the tea. 🙂
Hi, saw this and it looked and sounded delicious!! But curious what type of tea bags do you use or recommend?
Hi Taylor, I use decaffeinated Lipton Tea bags. 🙂
Ok so like the black tea decaffeinated one?
It looks delicious:)
Love strawberry,thanks:)
This strawberry tea looks & sounds Delious!!
Do you chop the berries or slice? Or do you have extra berries for the pitcher
Hi Shirley, You chop the berries for the tea. I added extra for looks. 🙂
This looks amazing! Definitely going to give it a try as I love iced teas! One question though, I absolutely CRAVE PEACH TEA but everywhere I look, it’s off the shelves.. :'( Lipton used to have it in the tea bags(which I preferred)but now I can’t find it anywhere(O NO!) Anyone know where I can find it now?
I found some white tea peach mango tea bags at Walmart.
