Sun Tea

The sun is finally out here in Oregon, and that means more time outdoors and less time indoors. It is the perfect time to enjoy a refreshing glass of iced sun tea. This is a simple recipe that kids love to help with, from picking out the tea to watching it change colors. Our house goes through so much tea when the weather is hot and sunny, it is nice not to have to boil water every few hours to make more ice tea. This is the method of how we made tea growing up on a farm in the country.

Supplies:

Glass Jar (I used an old canning jar)

2 Tea bags ( I used Mango Passionfruit herbal tea)

Cold water

Directions:

1.      Place 2 tea bags of choice in a glass jar making sure to hold the tags on the rim.

2.      Fill glass jar with cold water and seal with lid making sure the tea bags are hanging from the rim.

3.      Find a place outside in direct sun light and place jar in the sun

4.      Come back in 2-4hr depending on sun and tea strength

5.      Pour over glasses of ice and enjoy
