Ingredients Instructions

Ingredients
  

What you’ll need for the Tea:
  • 3 heaping Tbsp. Afternoon in Mansfield Park loose leaf tea
  • Tea infuser
  • 60 oz. boiling water ~212°F
  • Fresh berries and mint leaves for garnish optional
For the strawberry simple syrup:
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries

Instructions
 

  1. Using the tea infuser, steep Afternoon in Mansfield Park loose leaf tea in 60 oz. of boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain tea infuser or tea leaves from tea. Wait for tea to cool down before chilling to preserve flavor. Chill. (Our favorite iced tea tip: Make ice cubes out of the tea you’ll be drinking so that your tea doesn’t get watered down with regular ice cubes when serving!)
  2. For the strawberry simple syrup, bring water, sugar, and strawberries to a boil in a saucepan over the stove. Whisk continually until sugar has dissolved. Reduce to a simmer for 10 – 15 minutes (until strawberries have broken down). Strain out strawberry pieces and let cool. Chill.
  3. Serve tea over ice and sweeten with strawberry simple syrup to taste. Garnish with fresh berries and mint!
