Herbal Sun Tea Recipes and Instructions
How to Brew Herbal Sun Tea
Grab your favorite large glass jug. It should have a tight fitting lid (non-metallic preferred). Harvest and rinse your favorite fresh herbs. You should have about a third to a half cup of herbs for each eight ounces of water.
Place the herbs in the jar and then add water. I usually use three cups of herbs to seven cups of water or thereabouts. Seal the jar and shake it until you get a little foam.
Place the jar in a sunny spot for about six to eight hours. Shake it two or three times throughout the day.
If you like your tea with a rich, deep color, add a teabag (your favorite basic brew) during the last fifteen minutes or so.
Strain the liquid and add and sweetener to taste. It's summer in a glass.
