Ingredients:
- 4 family-size tea bags (i know some people prefer 1 brand over the other, so you can decide which you prefer)
Directions:
- 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.
