Sun Tea

Directions

1. 1
   Remove hang tags from the tea bags (you don't want the dye leaching into your tea) and drop into a 1/2 gallon glass pitcher.
2. 2
   Fill with cold water, making sure to wet the tea bags so they will submerge as they sit.
3. 3
   Cover pitcher with a lid or with plastic wrap.
4. 4
   Set outside, preferably where the tea will be in the sun for several hours, although a warm area on a cloudy day will work (if not take a little longer).
5. 5
   Allow to steep for 4-6 hours or until the tea is dark enough.
6. 6
   Remove tea bags and discard.
7. 7
   Serve tea with ice and lemon if desired, and discard any unused tea if it is not used the same day.
