I was playing around with some ideas for flavor and the recipes are really endless. Today I went with a green and mint tea combo! It is a refreshing drink for a hot day!
SUN TEA
8 green tea bags
3 mint tea bags
1 gallon of water
Fill a jar, or clear pitcher full of room-temperature water. Add all of the tea bags to the jar or pitcher. Let sit in the sun for two hours. (Note: The pitcher you use has to be clear or it will not work!) Most sweet tea recipes call for lots of sugar, I find them much too sweet for my taste, so I typically don't use sugar at all but you can always add sugar to taste.
After about two or three hours, take the tea bags out of the jar and place the jar into the fridge to let cool and then serve! Super easy!
A SUN TEA COCKTAIL
3 parts sun tea
1 part peach tea flavored vodka
Sliced lemon & lime
Mint leaves
1 cube of sugar
Ice
Fill glass with lemon, lime, mint, and sugar. Add ice, muddle. Mix with vodka and top off with the sun tea!
This is perfect cocktail for a long summer night sitting outside with friends while grilling and enjoying the sounds of summer.
Refreshing and tasty!
Let us know if you tried your own version of sun tea!
