Strawberry Iced Tea Lemonade
A refreshing summer iced tea lemonade bursting with fresh strawberries!
You guys, this weekend was the first real summer weekend for us. I’ve been out and about the past few weeks and this was the first weekend I was home when it was not raining and the weather was perfect. It was also the first weekend that my favorite strawberry farm was open for U-pick. Picking strawberries is one of my favorite summer activities and it always marks the start of the season. Of course, this means I will have an overload of strawberry recipes for you soon.
Luckily, my friend Julie from Montreal was visiting this weekend and we went strawberry picking together on this beautiful day. Julie blogs over at My Sweet and Healthy Life and we have been virtual friends for a long time. I was very excited to finally meet her. It’s been a great week of meeting blogging friends in real life 🙂 We spent a wonderful afternoon at the farm picking pounds of strawberries after lunch at Chipotle. Did you know they don’t have Chiptole in Canada? That was the first thing on her agenda lol! After an hour in the fields, we rewarded ourselves with some ice cream.
Staying refreshed in the heat after any summer activity is a must and that is where the new Lipton tea K-cups come in. They make it super easy to brew a refreshing cup of tea over ice to have a cold refreshing glass of ice tea ready in just minutes!! Thankfully they have 5 great flavors in stores, including the Iced Tea Lemonade that I used to make this strawberry blueberry ice tea lemonade.
Strawberries make the most refreshing drinks but I think I am biased since I have 5lbs at the moment to eat through. I used a strawberry puree, lemon juice, and freshly brewed ice tea lemonade to make an on-the-go cup of this sweet tea!!
Since I had guests in the house, I used the tea K-Cups to brew up a bigger batch of the iced tea lemonade to serve. Perfect for summer entertaining in your backyard.
So whether you enjoy the strawberry blueberry iced tea lemonade on the go or at a BBQ, it is perfect for any blistering summer day!!

I’ve never picked strawberries before, but it’s definitely on my list of things I want to do. I love this iced tea, it looks so refreshing on a hot summer day!
Danae it is so much fun. I hope you can one day soon 🙂
Mmm! Arnold Palmers are my favorite. I’ve never thought of adding strawberries, I’ll have to try this!!
Julia adding in strawberries or fresh fruit is the best!
Love your new site design, Zainab! And so fun that you got to go strawberry picking with Julie! I would love a few large glasses of this iced tea lemonade.
Thanks Ashley!!
Oh my goodness! I love the new look. Refreshed. Simple.
This tea sounds amazing. Huge iced tea lover. And you can’t go wrong with fresh strawberries. Picking our own strawberries….so fun.
Pinning!
Have a wonderful Wednesday!
Thank you Melanie!
I love that you added mixed berries to the lemonade — even tastier! Your new blog design is gorgeous, Zainab — it’s so streamlined and classy, and that logo is so you!
Thanks Marcie!! The fresh berries are making the summer so much better 🙂 And yes the site logo makes me happy every time I see it. I have a slight problem when it comes to shoes 🙂
I love seeing your beautiful new logo up! It is so gorgeous and these drinks are calling my name!
Thanks dear!! The logo makes me happy 🙂 And now I am in need of shoes in that exact color…just because!!
We’re getting hot, gorgeous weather here in Vancouver and finally fresh strawberries too! I can’t wait to try your delicious iced tea recipe this summer, Zainab. As for Chipotle – we actually have one here in Vancouver. It might be the only one in Canada but I’m too lazy to google to see if that’s true 😉 Tell your friend she can head out West for that Chipotle taste although it might be cheaper just to visit you again (flying in Canada costs an arm and a leg). Love the photos of your weekend.
What? I need to go tell her!! She might just find reason to go to that part of the country lol! She is a bit obsessed.
YUM again! This looks so yummy, and again I need a Keurig because I am an ice-tea-aholic. Loving the new layout of course 🙂
I forgot to mention how gorgeous these fresh strawberries look!
Thank you dear!! The keurig makes brewing tea or hot chocolate easy! So even non coffee drinkers like us can enjoy having it!
We have a bunch of berries in our fridge since Little Man powers through them. It’s obviously time I used some of those berries to make myself a drink! 🙂
Yes use some for yourself lol!
Oh I miss fresh berries..
Wooooow!!!! Strawberry picking sounds like SO much fun!!!!!!!!!!! That photo of the strawberry is sooooooo amazing! It looks soooo shiny and red and plump!!!!! <3 I am lovingggg this fruity flavored lemonade ice tea!!!!!! I just have to make a large tumbler of this stat!
Now that drink is summer in a glass!
I agree!! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
I can’t wait to try this! I love these kind of drinks. I’m so glad you linked it up with us! #FoodieFridays
Thank you for hosting Michelle!
Looks so refreshing! We grew strawberries when I was young, so picking is not fun for them, but I do love them!
Hhhaha they are so spoiled lol! I wish I had strawberries when I was growing up.
So refreshing! Thanks for linking up with What’s Cookin’ Wednesday!
