Do your part to save energy ! Make some passive solar-brewed iced tea. Mix-n-match your flavors according to your own taste buds! Ingredients:
1 gallon water |
6 -8 tea bags (depending on strength) |
1/4 cup honey (see note) |
Directions:
1. *Early in the day*: fill a gallon jar with water, tea bags and honey; cover and place jar out in a sunny spot.
2. Remove from outdoors, shake jug to be sure the honey is well-mixed; remove tea-bags (these can go in the compost).
3. Place jar in fridge to chill (well, duh!).
4. Serve over ice cubes or just chilled.
5. VARIATIONS: If you're using unflavored tea bags, you can add a flavor by adding several (or fewer) drops of your favorite flavoring extracts to the finished tea: raspberry, orange, blackberry or a combination.
6. MONEY-SAVING HINT: Leave the honey out and let everyone add their own sugar when they're served.
