6 1/2 cups water

1 cup lemon juice (from about 6 lemons)

Steps
1
Trim the strawberries and cut into halves. In a small saucepan, heat the sugar and 1/2 cup water on medium 3 min., until sugar dissolves, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in strawberries. Let stand 10 min.
2
In a medium pitcher place 5 - 8 Celestial Seasonings® Cold Brew Unsweetened Black Tea Bags. Pour 6 cups cold water over tea bags and let steep for 5 minutes (or longer for bolder flavor). Squeeze and remove tea bags.
3
Meanwhile, squeeze juice from the lemons. Transfer strawberry mixture to a blender. Blend until smooth.
4
To tea add strawberry mixture and lemon juice and stir. Refrigerate until cold. Serve on ice, stirring before pouring if starting to separate. Garnish with strawberries, if desired.
