Simmer strawberry mixture until strawberries are release their juices and the mixture thickens slightly - remove from heat.

Meanwhile, add 8 cups of water to another pot and heat until nearly simmering. Remove from heat and add tea bags - steep for 5-6 minutes.

While the tea is steeping, strain the strawberry mixture through a fine mesh sieve, reserving the liquid.

Combine the steeped tea and the strawberry syrup.

Transfer to a large storage container and transfer to fridge.

Serve chilled, and preferably over ice!
