Today is a mostly sunny day, and I have gotten the idea to make sun tea. I always have tea bags, and used the last of my mix. Actually, as I am writing this it started to cloud up a bit. Hmm, maybe this isn't going to be the best day to do it. I can always do the old fashioned method. Do you make sun tea when it is sunny?

@shaggin I put it outside. in a jar with a cover .I never timed it, when it's brown it's ready...although it gets stronger if you leave it out longer, as it is steeping longer.

It's something different kind of like a science experiment. You should get yourself a solar oven.

@Jenaisle You are welcome, might as well not have that strong sun go to waste.

@snowy22315 My son always enjoyed us making it that way when he was a child.

I would suspect you have enough sun now to do it if you wanted to.

@snowy22315 I think so too really. I might just need to pick my days.

You make tea by setting it out in a glass jar in the sun It works well when the sun is strong
