Categories Beverages

Time 6h5m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

4 family-size tea bags (I know some people prefer one brand over the other, so you can decide which you prefer)
1 1/4 cups sugar or 1 1/4 cups Splenda sugar substitute (or sugar/Splenda mix)
water, to fill container
lemon wedge, for garnish

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.

Yield 1 gallon, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

Ingredients

1 gallon water
6 -8 tea bags (depending on strength)
1/4 cup honey (see note)

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.
