# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Grab a glass with ice, pour in your sweet tea, sip, and let it refresh you.
02 -
Push the syrup out of the cooled strawberries with a fine strainer into another pitcher or cup. Dump the strawberry syrup right into the big pitcher with your tea and mix it up.
03 -
In that same saucepan, toss the strawberries, sugar, and leftover 2 cups of water. Letting it bubble gently for about 20 minutes does the trick. This part’s done when you take it off the heat to let it cool down.
04 -
Take a medium pan and boil 2 cups of water. Turn off the heat, drop in the tea bags, and let them hang out for 5 minutes. Squeeze out all that strong tea with tongs, then pour it into a big pitcher, adding 4 cups more water and your baking soda.
