My Favorite Tools
- Citrus juicer – Makes it easy to get every drop of fresh lime juice.
- Pitcher or jug – Perfect for mixing everything together without losing the fizz.
- Wooden spoon or muddler – Helps gently bruise the mint to release its natural oils.
- Measuring spoons – Keeps your sweetness level consistent every time.
- Cutting board & sharp knife – For slicing and juicing the limes cleanly. Tip: Roll the limes on the counter first to make them easier to juice.
- Tall glasses – Mojitos stay colder and look prettier in taller glasses.
- Ice cube tray – Essential for loading your mojito with plenty of ice!
- Reusable straws – Stainless steel straws stay cold and make each sip extra refreshing.
Tips and Variations
- If you prefer, you can also strain the strawberry puree when adding to the tea, but I like when there are fresh strawberry seeds in the mix too.
- Choose a glass pitcher so you can see the mint and lime - it's part of the presentation.
- A handheld press gives the best control and keeps seeds out of your drink.
- Add alcohol - add white or dark rum and make a cocktail out of this iced tea.
- Spritzer - it also tastes incredible when adding soda or sparkling water to the finished drink or individual serving glasses.
- This iced tea recipe can be made with other berries like raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, or berry mix too. Simply adjust to your liking and keep the same ingredient quantities.
- Sugar - for best results add the sugar while the peppermint tea is hot, but if using muscovado sugar it should dissolve in lukewarm water too.
Different Ways To Use Strawberry Tops
Always save strawberry tops - don’t throw them away! Here's what you can make with them:
- Make strawberry-infused water.
- Don’t have a plan to use those tops right now? Place them in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge for up to a few days, or in the freezer for a few months, then pull them out when you’re ready to use them.
- Another great way to use them is to infuse your favorite spirit with them (I usually keep them in my rum for a few days).
- Add the tops to your favorite smoothies to get a little pink hue and hint of strawberries.
