In a saucepan, whisk together 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar. Add strawberries. Heat over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat, and let cool completely.
Bring 1 ½ quarts of water to a boil. Pour into a 2 quart pitcher and add the 8 tea bags. Let steep for 10 minutes. Remove the tea bags and let cool completely.
After the strawberry mixture is cool, pour through a strainer and discard the solids. Pour liquid into the tea, and mix well. Place in the fridge until cold. Pour over ice to serve.
