Fans of sun tea believe that steeping tea slowly in the sun makes a less bitter brew. Place the tea in the sunniest window of your home or on a sunny deck or patio. Once steeped, it will keep in the refrigerator for several days. We’ve chosen antioxidant-rich green tea, but you can make sun tea with any regular or herbal tea. Try adding sprigs of an aromatic herb, but remove them before refrigerating.

Ingredients

  • 4 bag tea, green
  • sugar substitute
    to taste (optional)
  • 1 small lemon
    sliced
  • 4 sprig(s) mint, fresh
    for garnish (optional)

Instructions


  • 1

    Place tea bags in a large glass jar or pitcher. Pour 4 cups of water over bags, cover the jar with plastic wrap, and place on a sun-filled windowsill or outside during the hottest part of the day. Steep until tea is light green and flavorful, about 1 hour.

  • 2

    Remove tea bags from the jar and discard. Refrigerate tea to cool, about 20 minutes. Fill 4 (10-ounce) glasses with ice. Pour tea over ice, add sugar substitute, if using, garnish with lemon slices and mint sprigs, if using, and serve.

    • Each serving is 1 cup.
