In a saucepan, combine sliced strawberries, 2 cups water, and 1 cup sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Strain and let the syrup cool.
Steep 3 tea bags in 3 cups boiling water for 5 to 7 minutes. Remove tea bags and stir in 1 cup sugar until dissolved.
Add 8 cups cold water and lemon juice. Stir in strawberry syrup to taste. Chill and serve over ice with lemon slices and fresh strawberries.
For peach tea, bring part of the 5 cups water to a boil and steep tea bag(s) for 5 to 7 minutes. Remove tea bag(s) and stir in 3/4 cup sugar and 3/4 cup honey until dissolved.
Add remaining water and peach puree. Mix well and chill.
Serve peach tea over ice with frozen peach slices.

Use raspberries instead of strawberries for a different berry flavor.

Fresh peaches can replace frozen; peel and puree before using.

Adjust sugar and honey to control sweetness.

Add mint leaves for a refreshing twist.

Store in covered pitchers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and stir before serving.
