PERFECT SUN TEA RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:
- Begin by turning the faucet on and letting the water run until it gets really hot. Then fill up the container that is being used to make the tea. When the jug is filled, pour in one cup of sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Add the eight tea bags. To make the tea flavored use four regular tea bags and 4 flavored ones. Mixing the two keeps the flavor from being too strong. And now for the biggest secret to my sun tea....I don't typically use sun. I began making this tea a few years ago in the winter. I had to use the hot water to make the tea. If the idea seems a little strange to you, go ahead and stick the jar outside! Leave the tea sit for two to three hours depending on how strong you want it. Pour the tea over some ice and add a lemon slice if you'd like. Refrigerate the remaining tea.

Steps:
- 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.
