real, sometimes the idea of boiling water to make tea just sounds…exhausting. Especially when the sun is out, and you just want to chill with a refreshing drink. That’s where sun green tea comes in! This is like, the ultimate chill summer drink. It’s so easy to make, and it tastes amazing.
Think of it as a magical potion made with the help of the sun’s rays. It’s all about letting the sunshine brew your tea, and it’s super relaxing to make. Seriously, imagine this: you’re chilling outside, maybe reading a book or listening to music, and your delicious sun tea is slowly steeping in the sunshine. It’s like, a little piece of summer magic.
Now, let’s get down to the nitty-gritty of making this sunshine sip. You know, the kind of stuff that makes you feel like a total pro. You need some basic stuff:
Green tea bags: Don’t stress about picking the perfect kind. Just choose whatever green tea you like! I’m a fan of the classic green tea, but sometimes I get fancy and try out different flavors like jasmine or mint.
Water: You’re gonna need a big ol’ pitcher or jar for this. I’m talking about the kind you use for lemonade or iced tea.
A sunny spot: You want to find a spot where the sun will be hitting your tea for a good few hours. Think of your porch, patio, or even your windowsill.
Now, let’s make some sun tea!
Step 1: Grab your tea bags and pop them in the pitcher. I usually use about 4-5 bags for a gallon of water, but you can adjust that to your taste.
Step 2: Fill the pitcher with cold water. I like to use filtered water, but tap water works too.
Step 3: Put your pitcher in a sunny spot. You want it to be exposed to direct sunlight for at least 3-4 hours. The longer it sits, the stronger the flavor will be.
Step 4: When your sun tea is ready, take the tea bags out. You can add some ice, fresh lemon slices, or even a splash of honey if you like.
Step 5: Enjoy! It’s the perfect way to cool down on a hot day.
Here’s a little table to help you visualize the whole process:
| Step | Action | Time |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Place tea bags in pitcher | 5 minutes |
| 2 | Fill pitcher with cold water | 5 minutes |
| 3 | Place pitcher in sunlight | 3-4 hours |
| 4 | Remove tea bags | 5 minutes |
| 5 | Add ice, lemon, or honey (optional) | 5 minutes |
| 6 | Enjoy! | Indefinitely! |
Now, here’s a little secret: you can actually use this sun tea method for other types of tea too. Like, you could make sun hibiscus tea, sun chamomile tea, or even sun black tea. It’s really up to you and what you’re in the mood for!
