Strawberry Jasmine Sun Tea image

This tea is super refreshing and great for a hot summer day. I never had jasmine tea before, but I loved the flavor and light taste. No extra sugar is needed for this thanks to the sweetness from the honey and mint. But if you like your tea very sweet, you can add sugar when serving. Great for your summer cookout!

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 gal water
1 pt strawberries
bunch fresh mint
5 jasmine tea bags
1/2 c honey
3 gallon glass beverage dispenser/jug

Steps:

  • 1. Wash strawberries and mint. Chop leaves/tops off strawberries and cut them in half.
  • 2. In large pot, use some of the water to boil strawberries and mint. Reduce, add honey and mix well, and let simmer for about 25 - 30 minutes, until the strawberries lose most of their color.
  • 3. In the meantime, wash thoroughly the beverage container you will be leaving out in the sun.
  • 4. Pour everything, strawberries and all, into the clear beverage dispenser (glass is best to use, I think). Add the rest of the water (room temp), and the jasmine tea bags.
  • 5. Leave container out in the sun for about 4 hours (less time if you are making smaller quantity).
  • 6. Serve over ice, add sugar if you wish, garnish with orange or lemon and enjoy!
