Making sun tea is one of my favorite things to do on a warm sunny day. To make your own sun tea, place a few bags of tea to a jar full of water. We used decaf green tea…. yummmm! Add some lemon slices…
Place the sealed jars in a very sunny spot for…. well, pretty much all afternoon. Remove the tea bags and pour the remaining contents into a large glass pitcher. Add honey to taste. Grab yourself a tall frosty glass, pour the tea over a bunch of ice. Pull up a chair, and call it a day, my friends.
Sharing is optional.
…though highly encouraged.
While you’re at it, have dinner outside.
….with ice cream for dessert.
I forgot about sun tea! We used to make that all the time as kids! I doubt my kids will drink it – perhaps if I use the raspberry herbal tea that I love…..
Hi April, I bet raspberry tea would be super-yummy! We have fresh mint in our yard, and I’m looking forward to trying that too. Mmmmm…
I used to practically live off sun tea growing up. Might have to make an herbal kind for the kids as I won’t let them drink the caffeinated kind I always had.
That’s a fun idea! Eating outside and ice-cream are fun too of course 🙂
Thanks, sunnymama!
Ivy, I bet herbal tea would be delicious too. I think next time I’m going to try a caffeine free peach tea… Yummm!
That looks like a beautiful afternoon. 🙂 I love suntea! It also works with herbs from the garden and stevia for sweetness.
And icecream! YUM!
