Strawberry Ice Tea

Combining two summer favorites - fresh strawberries and refreshing ice tea - makes a fabulous drink for a hot and humid day. If you don't enjoy ice tea, try mixing 2 tablespoons of the pureed strawberry with a lemon-lime soda. I tried this with Sprite and it was delicious!

Ingredients
1 package (about 2 cups) strawberries
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 lemon
1/2 gallon ice tea

Directions
1. Boil 1/2 gallon (8 cups) of water. Pour over 2 tea bags and allow to steep for 3-5 minutes. Chill in refrigerator. (I chilled it overnight)
2. Wash and cut the stems off of the strawberries. Place in blender and puree. You may need to stir the strawberries around a few times to help it puree (I did).
3. Strain the pureed strawberries into the iced tea.
4. Juice the lemon and add to iced tea.
5. Stir in sugar until dissolved.
6. Chill until ready to serve.
