Sun Teas


Sun Tea

  • 10 small tea bags or 3 large tea bags
  • A one-gallon glass jar
  • Water

Fill a one-gallon glass jar with cold water and add either ten small tea bags or 3 large tea bags and close lid. Place jar outside and make sure it is sitting in direct sunlight.
Let jar sit for about 1 hour if placed outside in mid-afternoon or two to three hours if jar was placed outside early in the morning, or on cooler days. The hotter the day (and sun), the stronger the tea.
Note: The water will turn a deep golden brown color. Remove from sun and allow cooling before serving.
Wait until the Sun Tea is cool, and then add ice. Otherwise, it will be cloudy.
