Chop 1 pound of fresh strawberries into half-inch pieces, and combine with ½ cup of white sugar in a sealable jar. Seal and let sit at room temperature for about 1 hour.

Boil 2 cups of filtered water, let cool for 30 seconds, then pour into a teapot. Add 2 tablespoons of Earl Grey tea leaves or 2 tea bags and steep for 3-5 minutes.

In a tall glass, add ice cubes and pour in 2-3 tablespoons of strawberry syrup to taste, followed by the cooled brewed tea.

Pour in ½ to ¾ cup of chosen milk and stir gently to combine flavors.

Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful blend of creamy, floral, and fruity sweetness.
