1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon honey or sweetener of choice
1 cup ice
Instructions

- Fill a mason jar or large glass with ice.

Notes
Use fresh strawberries instead of freeze-dried strawberries for a juicier fruit flavor.
Add extra honey or sweetener if you prefer a sweeter drink.
Fresh mint leaves make a refreshing addition.
Replace part of the tea with sparkling water for a fizzy version.
Jasmine green tea adds a subtle floral flavor.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours and stir before serving.
