How to make Sun Tea:
In most areas of the country, this summer has been too hot to boil water, but it has been great for
making sun tea! You simply steep tea using energy from the sun.
To do so you will want to follow these 7 easy steps:
You will need
- 4 cups of cold water (1 quart)
- 4 tablespoons of tea leaves (Green Tea, Nettles-Clover Plus, Raspberry Plus, etc.) or 5 teaspoons of any variety of black tea (Darjeeling, English Breakfast, Oolong, etc.).
- A wire mesh strainer with small enough mesh to strain out tea leaves or a pasta strainer with cheese cloth.
- A glass jar with fitting lid (1 quart, ½ gallon or gallon depending on how much tea you wish to make) Keep in mind that this tea will not keep in the refrigerator and needs to be consumed within 12 hrs.
Steps
- Wash and sanitize a clear glass container. Sun tea steeps at an ideal temperature for bacterial growth, so it's important to sanitize the container before you start.
- Fill the container with 4 cups of cold, purified water.
- 4 tablespoons of tea leaves (Green Tea, Nettles-Clover Plus, Raspberry Plus, etc.) or 5 teaspoons of any variety of black tea (Darjeeling, English Breakfast, Oolong, etc.). Cover the container securely.
- Place the container in direct sunlight for at least two hours (mid-day is best). Check the tea periodically to see if it's ready.
- Leaving the tea leaves in the tea too long can make the tea taste bitter. Once the tea has reached its maximum darkness and has a nice "tea" flavor it is ready
- Strain the tea leaves. Pour into ice filled glasses. Any natural sweetener, lemon, fresh mint leaves, fresh lemon balm leaves, fruit juice or milk may be added.
- Drink all the tea within 12 hours. Sun tea does not keep well in the refrigerator.
Notes
Some people recommend that you only make sun tea with black such as Oolong tea, Irish Breakfast, English Breakfast, Darjeeling tea, Earl Grey, Jasmine, etc. This is because these teas are processed with heat and contain lower bacterial counts. If you are concerned about bacteria, you may steep tea leaves in the refrigerator, but this will take at least 8 hours to overnight.
