Instructions

  1. Fill 1 pitcher full of water. The pitcher should hold about 2 quarts. Drop the mint and tea bag into the pitcher of water. If the mint is not fragrant, then you may need to muddle the mint leaves.
  2. Cover with a towel and secure with a rubber band, if it doesn’t have a top. Place the pitcher outside in the sun. The heat of the sun is what brews the tea.
  3. Let the pitcher sit in the sun for about 8 hours. One you have finished brewing the tea, remove the tea bags and mint.
  4. Add the lemon juice then stir. To serve pour over ice with a slice of lemon and sprig of mint.

Notes

  • Use fresh mint leaves. As mint ages it can smell and taste musty. It’s gross and will not taste good in the tea.
  • I highly recommend Pique Tea. You can purchase them online. Use my promo code ‘BETH5’ to get 5% off.
