Make and share this Sun Tea recipe from Food.com.

Total Time 6 hours 5 minutes

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cook Time 6 hours

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 family-size tea bags (I know some people prefer one brand over the other, so you can decide which you prefer)
1 1/4 cups sugar or 1 1/4 cups Splenda sugar substitute (or sugar/Splenda mix)
water, to fill container
lemon wedge, for garnish

Steps:

  • You will also need: 1 gallon container or jug, with a screw on lid.
  • About 9am, fill your pitcher with the water, and tea bags.
  • The reason for the screw on top, is so that ants don't get to the tea.
  • Let the tea sit in the sun for most of the day, a prime full sun location is best.
  • When bringing the tea in, boil one cup, and then mix it with the sugar (but, in the summer, the heat from outside can be enough to dissolve the sugar).
  • Boiling the cup of tea only helps to make dissolving the sugar easier.
  • Combine the sugar, tea, and more water to make one gallon.
  • Serve with thick 1 1/2" wedges of lemon.
  • It usually takes 4-6 hours of being in the sun, in order to steep.
  • You can eye ball the tea, and bring it in, after the tea looks dark enough.
  • Since the tea is best served cold, put it in the fridge right away.
  • It does not last as long as boiled tea for some reason.
  • And I usually leave the tea bags in the jug until the tea is gone.
  • Then, I take the tea bags and sprinkle them in my flower garden, or over my roses.

SWEET SOUTHERN SUN TEA RECIPE BY WENDI - COOKEATSHARE
Good, old-fashioned sweet tea cooked by mother nature & sweetened with real sugar. A traditional southern treat. Note: Yes, there is a school of thought that sun tea can be 'dangerous' because it doesn't get hot enough to kill bacteria - but people have been drinking it for hundreds of years. If you're skittish, don't do it, simple as that. You can (and should), however, minimize risks by never adding sugar to the tea before it cooks, refrigerating cooked tea immediately, and limiting the time tea is stored. As with any food, if it doesn't look, smell, or taste 'right,' throw it out.

  • Fill the mason jar with cold water. Remove 2 cups of water and reserve. Add tea bags and place lid on tightly. Place jar in direct, bright sunlight (if your home is air conditioned the jar needs to be outside so it will get warm enough). When the tea is ready (approximately 3 - 4 hours depending on temperature & sunlight), heat reserved water to a boil in a sauce pan. Turn off heat, add brown sugar, and stir until dissolved. Pour mixture into tea and stir thoroughly. Serve over ice. Garnish with a lemon wedge if desired.
