How To Make Herbal Sun Tea (Easy Homemade Recipe)

Prep Time:5

Steep Time:2

Total Time:2 5

Fill a large glass dispenser with 8 cups of filtered water.
Measure 4Tb of dry tea leaves and add it to the tea filter.
NOTE: If you are not using a tea filter, add the tea directly to the filtered water.
Place the tea filter into the water and put the cover onto the glass jar.
Place the jar outside in a bright sunny spot. Let steep for 2-3 hours.
After steeping, and once you feel the tea has reached your desired complexity, take the tea out of the sun and bring it inside.
Remove the tea filter.
NOTE: If you are not using a tea filter, strain the tea into a large container, and once strained, pour the tea back into the original glass container.
Sweeten and flavor the sun tea as desired. ENJOY!

Steep the tea in a bright sunny spot. You may have to move it a time or two to keep the sun's rays shining directly onto the tea.
The time it takes for your sun tea to reach a rich flavor depends on the type of tea you are using, the time of year, and how hot it is outside. This will be a bit of experimentation but enjoy the process.
Do not keep your sun tea in the sun longer than 2-3 hours as it can become too bitter and be more prone to bacterial growth.
If you want your sun tea low-calorie and low-glycemic, consider using a plant-based alternative sweetener such as monkfruit or stevia. Use sparingly and a little goes a long way.
Store your sun tea in the refrigerator, and consume it within a couple of days.
It is perfectly okay to double this recipe if you are preparing for a larger party or gathering.
