ICED SUN TEA

I find most recipes for sun tea to be weak and tasteless. I like this recipe and usually drink tons of it in warm weather.

Steps:

  • Remove any tags from the tea bags (prevents dye from leeching into the tea) and place them in the bottom of a clear, glass, 1/2 gallon pitcher.
  • Fill with cold water , add lemon and lime and cover with plastic wrap or lid (keeps gnats and other creepies out).
  • Place outdoors in the sun (can do out of the sun as well, but takes just a bit longer).
  • Allow to brew for 5-6 hours or until it is as dark as you like (warmer weather brews it faster).
  • Remove tea bags and fruit and serve tea over ice, sweetened with honey if desired (mix it in while tea is warm).
  • Tea will keep about 6 hours, after which the quality decreases rapidly.

Nutrition Facts :

6 small orange pekoe and black tea bags
3 small flavored herbal tea bags (fruit, rose hip or hibiscus flower are great)
1/2 fresh lemon (optional)
1/2 fresh lime (optional)
honey, amount to taste (optional)

CLASSIC ICED SUN TEA

Bright sunlight helps slow-brew Ceylon orange pekoe tea and cold water into a deeply flavored beverage strong enough to withstand abundant ice, yet without bitterness, making it a favorite for a summer day.
