Strawberry Leaf Tea

After making so many drinks and sharing them on my blog, like the Royal Flush Cocktail and Red Devil Drink, I received requests for another smoothie or a non-alcoholic drink. Since my last smoothie recipe was the Apple Carrot and Peach Smoothie, here we go with a refreshing Strawberry Leaf Tea that’s fruity, sweet, and perfect for the whole family.

Just so you know, the kids didn’t like the taste of this Strawberry Leaf Tea. I’m not sure why, even though it was sweet and they adore strawberries. Maybe your kids won’t love it either. If that happens, share your experience in the comments below so we can discuss it!

This drink is so easy to make, you only need fresh strawberry leaves, some water, and honey or lemon as options. I recommend honey because it adds a great sweet flavor to the tea.

I love the simplicity of this Strawberry Leaf Tea, and the taste surprised me a little. With so few ingredients, I thought something might be missing, but no, the flavor was good, and it’s definitely worth trying.

Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh strawberry leaves (or 2 tablespoons dried strawberry leaves)

What to Serve with Strawberry Leaf Tea?

I usually have my Strawberry Leaf Tea with some Cherry Tomatoes and Basil Frittata, and both my wife and I love it this way. For the kids, even though they don’t love the taste of the tea, they still enjoy it alongside Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownies, I think they only love the brownies with their meal, You can also serve it with some croissants for some crunchy taste, or a honey-drizzled Greek yogurt for a creamy.
