In medium saucepan, add water sugar, 1 cup of sliced strawberries and 10 mint leaves. This makes the simple syrup.

Bring to a boil. Cook until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool

Fill a large pitcher with ice and add the 6 cups of brewed tea.

Strain the simple syrup and add it (to taste) to the iced tea. If you don't like your tea real sweet, then don't add the whole amount.

Add the remaining sliced strawberries.

Garnish with mint if desired.
