Iced tea is a classic beverage that's perfect for quenching your thirst on a hot day. This recipe takes the traditional iced tea to a whole new level by combining the earthy notes of Dilmah’s green tea with the warmth of ginger and the sweetness of fresh strawberries. The result is a harmonious blend of flavors that's both invigorating and satisfying. Let's dive into how to make this delightful Dilmah Green Tea and Ginger Strawberry Iced Tea.

Ingredients:

4 Dilmah Ceylon Green Tea With Ginger

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

4 cups water

2-4 tablespoons honey (adjust to taste)

Ice cubes

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions:

1. Boil the Water:

Start by bringing 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium-sized pot. Once the water reaches a rolling boil, remove it from the heat.

2. Steep the Teas:

Add the Dilmah Ceylon Green Tea With Ginger tea bags to the hot water. If you're adding fresh ginger, you can add the ginger slices directly to the water. Cover the pot with a lid and let the teas steep for about 5-7 minutes. The longer you steep, the stronger the flavors will be, so adjust the time according to your taste preference.

3. Sweeten the Tea:

After steeping, remove the tea bags (or strain out the ginger if you used fresh ginger slices). While the tea is still warm, add honey to taste. Stir well to ensure the honey dissolves completely in the tea.

4. Chill the Tea:

Allow the tea to cool down to room temperature before transferring it to the refrigerator. Once it's cooled, place it in the fridge to chill for at least 1-2 hours. Chilling the tea is essential for the iced tea to be refreshing and satisfying.

5. Prepare the Strawberries:

Wash, hull, and slice the fresh strawberries. You can adjust the quantity of strawberries based on your preference for sweetness and fruitiness in the tea.

6. Assemble the Iced Tea:

When the tea is thoroughly chilled, take it out of the refrigerator. Fill glasses with ice cubes and add a few slices of fresh strawberries to each glass.

7. Pour and Enjoy:

Carefully pour the chilled Dilmah Ceylon Green Tea With Ginger tea over the ice and strawberries. Give it a gentle stir to distribute the flavors and ingredients evenly.

8. Garnish and Serve:

For an extra touch of elegance and flavor, you can garnish the glasses with fresh mint leaves. The mint's aromatic scent will enhance the overall experience of the iced tea.

9. Sip and Savor:

Grab a straw, find a comfortable spot, and enjoy every sip of your homemade Dilmah Ceylon Green Tea With Ginger and Strawberry Iced Tea. The combination of green tea's grassy notes, the gentle warmth of ginger, and the burst of strawberry sweetness will tantalize your taste buds and keep you refreshed.

Whether you're hosting a summer gathering, enjoying a leisurely afternoon, or just in need of a revitalizing drink, this Green Tea and Ginger Strawberry Iced Tea is the perfect companion. Experiment with the tea-to-fruit ratio and sweetness level to tailor the recipe to your liking. Cheers to cooling down with a glass of homemade goodness!
