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!!

So refreshing! Thanks for linking up with What’s Cookin’ Wednesday!
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.
I can’t wait to try this! I love these kind of drinks. I’m so glad you linked it up with us! #FoodieFridays

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!
Oh I miss fresh berries..
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!
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’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.
