make your own brewed tea outside using the sun with just water, tea, and the sunlight!
Prep Time3 minutes mins
Active Time2 hours hrs
Course: Drinks
Cuisine: southern
Keyword: herbal tea, iced tea, springtime beverage, summer beverage, sweet tea
Yield: 1 pitcher
Fill a pitcher (preferably glass) with water and as many tea bags or loose tea canisters as you prefer, your sweetener if desired, and a covering to keep out bugs.
Set your pitcher outside in direct sunlight for at least 2 hours. God's sunlight and heat will do the rest for you.
Once the tea has steeped well and sweetener dissolved, bring the pitcher inside, remove covering and tea. Stir tea and serve in a glass over ice to enjoy.
NOTES:
If you like your brewed tea sweet, add your sugar or sweetener before setting it outside.
If you prefer it unsweetened, set your pitcher of water outside in direct sunlight and let God handle the rest.
This makes a great homeschool lesson and treat for kids to learn about solar energy.
