Flo-Berry Tea Recipe: Strawberry Earl Grey Iced Tea, Shaken Fresh

Delicate Earl Grey Base Fresh Strawberry Notes Shaken, Not Stirred Ready in 4 Minutes

Flo-Berry Tea takes the floral, slightly citrusy character of Earl Grey and pairs it with strawberry — a combination that shows up in high-end tea houses more often than you'd expect, and for good reason.

Made with Melina Strawberry Syrup, this recipe is shaken rather than stirred, which gives it a lighter, slightly frothy texture you won't get from just pouring everything into a glass.

Why This Recipe Works

Earl Grey's bergamot notes are floral and a little sharp, which keeps the drink from tasting like straight strawberry juice. Shaking it with ice does two things — it chills the tea fast and it lightly aerates the drink, giving it a texture closer to a shaken iced tea you'd get at a specialty café.

Ingredients
20ml Melina Strawberry Syrup Sweet, fruity base
100ml Earl Grey Tea Brewed and cooled
15ml Strawberry Juice Fresh, if available
Strawberry Garnish

Pro Tips
No shaker? Use a jarA sealed mason jar works just as well for shaking.
Don't over-shake10-15 seconds is enough — more than that just melts the ice and dilutes the drink.
Chill the tea firstShaking warm tea with ice melts it too fast.
Fresh juice makes a differenceIf you can, use real strawberry juice instead of a shelf-stable one.
Variations to Try
Flo-Berry FizzTop with a splash of soda water after straining.
Flo-Berry LemonadeReplace half the tea with Melina Lemon Lime Syrup mixed with water.
Strawberry Earl Grey LatteSwap the ice for warm milk for a cozy, creamy version.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Earl Grey add to this recipe?

Earl Grey's bergamot oil gives the tea a floral, citrus-like edge that balances the sweetness of the strawberry.

Can I skip the shaking step?

You can stir it over ice instead, though shaking gives a lighter texture and chills the drink faster.

Is fresh strawberry juice necessary?

It adds a fresher flavor, but you can substitute a store-bought strawberry juice if that's more convenient.

Can I make a pitcher version for guests?

Yes — multiply the ratio, mix everything (minus ice) in a pitcher, and add ice just before serving.
