Simply Sumptuous Sun Tea

With so many teas available, why would I pick Lipton? All I can say is that it's a matter of personal taste. There are MANY teas available, not only this "regular" tea, and the Green Tea below, but click through and search for tea bags, you'll be amazed!

Again, it doesn't have to be Lipton, and it doesn't have to be in bags, there are loose teas available too if you click through and search for them, it's just easier to make sun tea with tea bags.

I have mint growing prolifically in my garden, and love to take a stem of leaves, give it a good rinsing to rid it of the little bugs that like to hide under each leaf, then roll the leaves between my hands gently to release the flavors, then add to my sun tea jar when I've prepared it to brew in the sun just before adding the tea bags.

This is a neater way to brew your loose teas, just fill with your favorite loose tea leaves or combination of teas and add to your sun tea jar. You may need more than one tea ball to get enough to flavor a large jar of sun tea, this one is larger than some I've seen at 2 1/2" in diameter.

You will want to add this while the tea is warm or room temperature before adding your ice so that the honey will dissolve properly.

What better way to sweeten your tea than with a powerfully sweet herb that you can add to the tea during the brewing process. Grow your own with this kit...it can be for your own pleasure, or a delightful project to do with your children.

You'll find Stevia already prepared below.

Something I didn't mention above is that this natural sweetener from an herb has no calories, and is a much healthier alternative than buying packets of chemically based artificial sweeteners.
