This refreshing drink is the kind of thing you'll want to keep in the fridge all summer long β bright, fruity, and just tart enough to make every sip feel like a treat. Fresh strawberries are crushed and strained to create a gorgeous deep-pink infusion that blends beautifully with bold black tea and a squeeze of real lime juice. Maple syrup steps in as the sweetener, giving the whole thing a subtle, rounded sweetness that doesn't overpower the fruit. The process is simple but feels a little fancy, especially when you pour it over ice and tuck in a sprig of fresh mint. Since every ingredient here is straightforward and plant-based, there's absolutely nothing to second-guess β no store-bought mixes, no mystery additives, just clean, vibrant flavors you put together yourself. It's equally at home at a backyard cookout or a quiet afternoon on the porch.

Bring 3 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Remove from the heat, add the tea bags, and steep for 5 minutes. Remove and discard the tea bags, then stir in the maple syrup until dissolved. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
While the tea cools, combine the strawberries and 1 cup cold water in the saucepan (or a separate bowl). Use a fork or the back of a spoon to crush the strawberries until they release their juice and the water turns deep pink, about 1 minute.
