Sun Tea Aka Solar Tea Recipes

Steps:

• Use good quality tea bags. Fill gallon jar with cold water. Place tea bgs in jar, cover, and set in sun to brew. If you like a lot of lemon flavor you can add a slice of lemon to the water. Allow tea to sun brew for 3-4 hours. When tea looks dark enough for your taste remove tea bags. Place jar in refrigerator to cool. Serve with ice and lemon and/or sugar to suit your taste.

Steps:

• *Early in the day*: fill a gallon jar with water, tea bags and honey; cover and place jar out in a sunny spot.
• Remove from outdoors, shake jug to be sure the honey is well-mixed; remove tea-bags (these can go in the compost).
• Place jar in fridge to chill (well, duh!).
• Serve over ice cubes or just chilled.
• VARIATIONS: If you're using unflavored tea bags, you can add a flavor by adding several (or fewer) drops of your favorite flavoring extracts to the finished tea: raspberry, orange, blackberry or a combination.
• MONEY-SAVING HINT: Leave the honey out and let everyone add their own sugar when they're served.

Steps:

• The night before fill a gallon container with water and screw on the lid.
• In the morning place tea bags inside the container.
• Set it outside in a full sun location, preferably on a sidewalk (it gets a extra kick that way from the hot cement).
• In 6 - 8 hours you have tea.
• Refrigerate until chilled and serve over ice.
