Time 5h1m

Yield 1 gallon, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 gallon water
6 -8 tea bags (depending on strength)
1/4 cup honey (see note)

Steps:

  • *Early in the day*: fill a gallon jar with water, tea bags and honey; cover and place jar out in a sunny spot.
  • Remove from outdoors, shake jug to be sure the honey is well-mixed; remove tea-bags (these can go in the compost).
  • Place jar in fridge to chill (well, duh!).
  • Serve over ice cubes or just chilled.
  • VARIATIONS: If you're using unflavored tea bags, you can add a flavor by adding several (or fewer) drops of your favorite flavoring extracts to the finished tea: raspberry, orange, blackberry or a combination.
  • MONEY-SAVING HINT: Leave the honey out and let everyone add their own sugar when they're served.
