Sun Tea is a relatively new concept for making tea. People didn’t really start utilizing this method till the 1960s when tea was made without boiling water.
Sun Tea is one of the simplest methods of making tea.
- Fill a Clear Glass Container with water.
- Add the desired amount of tea.
- Allow to set in direct sunlight for 3-4 hours or till the tea reaches desired strength.
- Refrigerate the tea once it reaches desired strength to prevent bacteria growth.
- Serve and Enjoy.
