Traditional Sun Tea
Traditional Sun Tea is just that, tea that has been left to steep in the hot sun for several hours 3-5 hours is about average.
How to Make Sun Tea
It is really easy to do! You will need a large glass container or jar. It is really important that it is glass if possible. The container needs to hold 8 cups of water.
4-6 of your favorite Tea Bags, green and black tea work best, but you can use any tea bag you like.
Place the water and the tea bags in the jar, place on the lid and leave in the Sun to brew and steep for 3-6 hours. You will know your tea is ready when the colour has reached the colour of tea as if it was brewed in a tea pot with boiling water.
Sun Tea tends to be a bit milder tasting than normal brewed tea.
Serve the tea over ice, or drink warm. You can sweeten to taste and a few wedges of lemon make a yummy drink on a lazy summer day.
