Ways to Make your Own Sun Tea
Making sun tea is an iced tea recipe that is quite easy to do. However, if you want to make the best out of your sun tea, there are some things you can do to achieve this. You need to extend your patience and a few supplies. Although this ice tea recipe requires the least amount of effort on your part, making tea with solar power takes a lot longer than other methods of making iced tea.
Choosing Your Type of Tea
Some people may prefer making their sun tea with regular black tea bags, but other people find the result a bit on the weak side. If you go for strong hot black tea, then the taste of this iced tea recipe will not appeal to you. The advantage of sun tea is that you can use any kind of tea bags, and even a blend of two or more kinds of tea bags for it.
Rather than the usual black tea, this writer recommends using green tea. You could also combine different tea bags as part green tea, and part herbal tea, perhaps with a fruity flavor. Green tea needs less time to brew than black tea and tastes better if the water is hot but not at its boiling point. The sun will heat up the water with the tea quite well, but will not boil it.
Choosing Your Container
There are many containers you can use for this iced tea recipe. But it is very crucial that your containers should have lids. If your container does not have a lid, chances are that insects will be attracted to the liquid’s color and unintentionally drown in it. Your iced tea container needs to be have at least a half gallon capacity in order to make a few glasses of iced tea.
There are some people who may be able to detect when the iced tea recipe is made in a plastic container or in a glass one. The difference is quite subtle but some people may be sensitive to this. This employs similar logic as when you’re comparing the taste of bottled soft drinks that have previously been packaged in glass containers. There is a difference that can be detected in those that come in plastic bottles.
For best results for this iced tea recipe, simply use one regular sized tea bag per cup of water in the container, fill with cold water and set in a spot that gets the most sun during the day. In the evening, place the container in the refrigerator and allow to chill overnight. For a refreshing finish, pour it over ice.
