What is Sun Tea?
Sun tea is a type of iced tea that is brewed using the power of the sun. Allowing the tea bags to infuse in a container of water left out in the sunlight, you can create a smooth and flavorful tea with minimal effort.

- Place 4 to 6 tea bags into the water. Tie the strings of the tea bags together to make them easier to remove later.
- Cover the jar or pitcher with its lid or a piece of plastic wrap and place the container in a sunny spot outdoors, indirect sunlight usually works best.
