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.

ICED SUN TEA
I find most recipes for sun tea to be weak and tasteless. I like this recipe and usually drink tons of it in warm weather.

Steps:
- Remove any tags from the tea bags (prevents dye from leeching into the tea) and place them in the bottom of a clear, glass, 1/2 gallon pitcher.
- Fill with cold water , add lemon and lime and cover with plastic wrap or lid (keeps gnats and other creepies out).
- Place outdoors in the sun (can do out of the sun as well, but takes just a bit longer).
- Allow to brew for 5-6 hours or until it is as dark as you like (warmer weather brews it faster).
- Remove tea bags and fruit and serve tea over ice, sweetened with honey if desired (mix it in while tea is warm).
- Tea will keep about 6 hours, after which the quality decreases rapidly.
