Sun Tea!

We have been making a brew of sun tea every single day in this heat wave. The sun is so hot that it is really brewing up some great tea.

Sun tea is not hard to do. Just put 4 to 6 tea bags into a clean 2 quart glass container. Fill with water and cap. Place outside where the sunlight can strike the container for about 3 to 5 hours. Move the container if necessary to keep it in the sun. When the tea has reached its desired strength, remove from sun and put it in the refrigerator.

I broke our actual Sun Tea Pitcher so we have to use a vintage pitcher that I cover with plastic wrap. But, hey , IT WORKS!

  1. Putting solar energy to very good use! Add some mint and a dash of lime to the tea. It'll become even tastier.
