Earths Herbal Sun Tea Recipes

Steps:

• In the morning, place herbs in a glass mason jar.
• Add water and cap tightly.
• Set out in the sun in a nice warm spot, and let steep for the entire day.
• Once the sun goes down, strain and serve.

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.

Steps:

• In the evening, place the ingredients in a glass mason jar.
• Add water but do not cap.
• Set jar outside right under the moonlight all night long.
• Strain and drink first thing in the morning.

Steps:

• Place tea and lemon verbena or mint on a square of cheesecloth. Tie into a bundle with kitchen twine. Place tea bag in a large glass jar, and add water. Cover, and steep in direct sunlight for 2 hours.
• Strain tea, and discard solids. Stir in honey or sugar. Serve immediately, or refrigerate up to 3 days.

Steps:

• You will also need: 1 gallon container or jug, with a screw on lid.
• About 9am, fill your pitcher with the water, and tea bags.
• The reason for the screw on top, is so that ants don't get to the tea.
• Let the tea sit in the sun for most of the day, a prime full sun location is best.
• When bringing the tea in, boil one cup, and then mix it with the sugar (but, in the summer, the heat from outside can be enough to dissolve the sugar).
• Boiling the cup of tea only helps to make dissolving the sugar easier.
• Combine the sugar, tea, and more water to make one gallon.
• Serve with thick 1 1/2" wedges of lemon.
• It usually takes 4-6 hours of being in the sun, in order to steep.
• You can eye ball the tea, and bring it in, after the tea looks dark enough.
• Since the tea is best served cold, put it in the fridge right away.
• It does not last as long as boiled tea for some reason.
• And I usually leave the tea bags in the jug until the tea is gone.
• Then, I take the tea bags and sprinkle them in my flower garden, or over my roses.
