Steps:
- In a 2 gallon or larger pitcher, pour in water and place tea bags in the water. Stir in 1 cup sugar. Cover and place tea in the sun for about 4 to 5 hours to steep.
- Meanwhile, set aside ½ pound of strawberries for garnish. With the remaining strawberries, hull and crush about 3 cups strawberries with a potato masher in a large bowl. Hull and slice the remaining strawberries and add them to the mashed strawberries. Add 6 tablespoons sugar and stir to combine. Cover and set in the refrigerator until the sun tea is done.
- Remove the tea bags and stir tea with a wooden spoon. At this point you can either pour the strawberry compote into the tea or serve the compote into individual glasses. Serve over ice and enjoy.

STRAWBERRY MINT SUN TEA
Refreshing and healthy too! This works best on a summer sunny day! In the winter I just make this by heating the water to boiling, then steeping the tea bags for 10-20 minutes. Adapted from the Heart & Stroke Foundation.
