Tea is perfect for all occasions, but Bigelow Green Tea is perfect to help you celebrate St. Patrick’s Day and hope Spring is coming soon with a Homemade Strawberry-Green Tea Soda.
My husband and I have always been huge tea drinkers, especially green tea because of the great healthy benefits.
Here are my top five reasons why we love the great health benefits:
1.) Drinking green tea can increase your metabolism.
2.) Green tea contains L-Theanine which can help with depression.
3.) Most of us know green tea is a great antioxidant and can help with aging skin.
4.) Green tea contains smaller dosages of caffeine than other varieties of tea.
5.) Kills bacteria which can help improve your dental health.
There are many more benefits of green tea, but these are the most common ones.
In our house we absolutely love Bigelow Tea. Not only do they have green tea, but they also have so many other varieties. Some of the reasons why we love Bigelow Tea so much is because they have great quality tea – we have never been disappointed!
We absolutely love that they are an American company and they are a great family owned business – 3 generations of great, quality work. They are definitely #AmericasTea in our eyes!
Have you ever noticed why their tea is always so fresh tasting? All of their varieties of tea contain a foil pouch to keep in that awesome freshness. I love it! .
Since I shared with you our favorite brand of green tea, I thought I should share an awesome recipe that contains green tea. It’s a perfect beverage to enjoy on St. Patrick’s Day with great health benefits!
With the addition of strawberry it makes you look forward to the coming Spring months. I can’t wait!
Buy It
You can purchase Bigelow Tea and with bonus packs with four extra tea bags (while supplies last) at your local Walmart Supercenter in the same aisle as coffee!

- 1 pound of fresh strawberries
- 1 cup white granulated sugar
- 1 and 1/2 cups water
- 1 cup brewed green tea cooled
- 1/4 cup homemade strawberry syrup
- seltzer water
- Prepare the strawberries by washing and drying them. Cut off the stems, slice into halves and place into the large saucepan.
- Add granulated sugar and water into the saucepan and allow to simmer for 20 minutes. Skim off the foam as you see it.
- Strain the syrup and do not mash down the strawberries. You do not want cloudy strawberry syrup. Allow to cool.
- While the strawberry syrup is cooling, prepare your brewed green tea however you like and then allow that to completely cool.
- Place ice cubes, strawberry syrup, green tea, and seltzer into a glass.
Sounds YUMMY and I love the bright color! Great for a party.
Thank you, Lara! Great idea about bringing it to a party! Love it. 🙂
I got a huge box of this at Sams – LOVE it! Great flavors!
That looks so refreshing! I plan on making this a lot this spring and summer!
You and me both, Donna!
My kids love green tea and strawberries … I bet they would love this!!
Definitely sounds delicious and a great healthy alternative then drinking coffee.
I need to get on the green tea wagon. Can’t have black tea anymore due to kidney stones.
Yum, yum, yum! I’m all about strawberry drinks! I’ll have to try this.
My son would love this. He loves flavored teas like this. Thank you for sharing.
If he loves flavored teas, then I think he will enjoy this!
So refreshing!! Is it summer yet?
It definitely is, Jennifer! Oh.. I so wish it was summer already!! So tired of winter.
I’ve never been a fan of green tea but the strawberry addition makes it sound like something I’d love.
I think you will love it with the strawberry syrup, Cat!
I bring these to work and refresh myself plus give me a few moments of clarity while I am in a busy stressful environment.
What a great spin on traditional green tea!
I have some Bigelow green tea on hand and I can’t wait to try this recipe!

I love strawberry tea! I wonder if you could do this without carbonating it?
Sure thing. You can just omit the carbonated water and add filtered water. 🙂
Yum, this looks absolutely delicious! We made a strawberry lemonade but I love the idea of a flavored tea!
Thanks, Jennifer!
oh that looks good. I need this!!
Thanks, Jenny!
I love flavored iced tea! So going to try this!
I do too, Michelle! I think you will love it. 🙂
I have heard great things about green tea!
This sounds so good, I can’t wait for strawberries to be in season to try this! I’ve been a huge fan of sparkling tea since I stopped drinking soda.
How clever and that looks and sounds very refreshing!
This would be perfect now that it is starting to warm up.
sounds great! Thanks for the recipe!
Oh, this drink makes me want spring to come NOW! Unfortunately I’m still nursing creamy hot chocolate trying to stay warm…. But this recipe looks amazing! And the strawberry syrup is so versatile! I bet it would be super yummy on homemade ice cream. Thanks for sharing, this is being pinned ASAP because first day of spring and I’m cracking this out 🙂
Thanks for pinning, Kyleigh! I cannot wait for Spring – just tomorrow! I only wish the weather was warmer.
That looks so refreshing and is such a pretty color! Love all the healthy Bigelow Green Tea benefits you shared. #client
