Summer Bucket List - Sun Tea

I love sun tea.  It takes a few hours, but the flavor is wonderful.  We made some decaf sun tea this week using the same recipe we used last summer.

We placed six decaf black tea bags in a pitcher and added two quarts of cold, filtered water.  Then, we put the covered pitcher out in the sun for about four hours, moving it when necessary to keep it in the direct sunlight.

Once the time had lapsed, we poured the tea over ice and added a few lemon wedges for a delicious, refreshing summertime beverage!

Sun Tea

We made sun tea last week and it was delicious.  It is so easy to make.  Simply place four to six tea bags in a pitcher and fill it with two quarts of cold water.  Cover the pitcher and place it outside in the sunlight for three to five hours.  If the sun moves, move your pitcher so that it is always in the sun. 

Enjoy over ice with a little lemon.  We like our iced tea unsweetened, but you can certainly sweeten it however you like.  Refrigerate the leftovers, if you have any!
