Sun Tea

* 4-6 Tsp. loose tea or tea bags
* 1 ½ quarts cold water
* ice
* lemon or splenda, optional

1. Place loose tea into a tea ball or 100% cotton cheesecloth, tying with a string. Put into a 2-quart clear glass container. Add cold water. Cover and let stand in sunlight or at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours or until tea reaches desired strength. (Keep the container away from combustible materials. Sunlight coming through glass and liquid can concentrate a beam of light that may start a fire.)

2. Remove tea ball or bags. Serve over ice. If desired, serve with sugar and lemon. Store in the refrigerator.

Flavor Variations:

Hint-of-Mint Tea: Add 3/4 to 1 teaspoon snipped fresh mint to the loose tea or 4 to 6 crushed large mint leaves with the tea bags. Brew as directed. Remove mint before serving. If desired, garnish with fresh mint.

Ginger Tea: Add a 2- to 3-inch piece of fresh ginger, thinly sliced, with the loose tea or tea bags. Brew tea as directed. Strain before serving.
