Ingredients

6 small orange pekoe and black tea bags
3 small flavored herbal tea bags (fruit, rose hip or hibiscus flower are great)
1/2 fresh lemon (optional)
1/2 fresh lime (optional)
honey, amount to taste (optional)

Directions

1

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.
2

Fill with cold water , add lemon and lime and cover with plastic wrap or lid (keeps gnats and other creepies out).
3

Place outdoors in the sun (can do out of the sun as well, but takes just a bit longer).
4

Allow to brew for 5-6 hours or until it is as dark as you like (warmer weather brews it faster).
5

Remove tea bags and fruit and serve tea over ice, sweetened with honey if desired (mix it in while tea is warm).
6

Tea will keep about 6 hours, after which the quality decreases rapidly.
