Sun Tea

List of Ingredients




6 Lipton or Orange Pekoe tea bags
1 gallon water
1 or 2 tsp sugar
2 lemon wedges (½ lemon)


Recipe



Add sugar to water in a clear, 1 gallon container. Stir until sugar is
dissolved. Add tea bags; leave strings and tags hanging outside jar. Add
lemon
wedges. Place in sun for about six hours or so, then remove tea bags and
refrigerate. Serve with ice in tall glasses. Add a sprig of fresh mint, if
you
like.

Actually, this tea brews equally well in the refrigerator, if you want to
save
time. A good way to make it is to brew it overnight in the refrigerator,
then
you have fresh tea in the morning!

An alternative, quicker method is to place the six tea bags in one cup
boiling
water for about five minutes, then stir in sugar until dissolved. Pour the
strong tea into a gallon container filled with ice, water, and the lemon
wedges.
If the tea isn't quite strong enough, add a fresh bag or two. The tea should
be
ready in about fifteen minutes.
