Isn't it radiant in the sunlight? Sun tea is a great way to brew tea in the summer when you want to avoid the kitchen and turning on the stove. Your camping companions will think you're brilliant too.
Ingredients
- 4 litres warm water
- 7-8 bags (or 1/2 cup loose leaf) tea
- 1/4 cup local honey, optional
- 1/2 lemon, sliced, optional
- 5 sprigs fresh mint, optional
- 5 sprigs fresh lavender, optional
Instructions
Place water, tea, and herbs into a clean sealable container. Find a sunny perch and let your tea steep for up to 4 hours. Add honey and lemon to taste. Strain and enjoy.
