Green Sun Tea Recipes

SUN TEA

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.

SUN TEA

Steps:

• Using a gallon sized jar, place your tea bags inside, then fill to the top with cold water.
• Place jar outside in the warm sun.
• If you want to make a smaller amount, in a smaller jar, that's good too! Just reduce the number of teabags.
• I determine when my tea is done, but the color. I like a rich strong tea, so I wait until it's a deep amber.
• Once it's reached the color and boldness you want, bring it back inside and add the sugar. Of course, you can omit the sugar if you want unsweetened tea.
• Serve over a tall glass of ice.
• Enjoy!
