Author Garden: How do you make sun tea? barleychown AV Queen Member # 1392 posted                       Also known as ice tea... I know I watched my mom make it a thousand times as a child...but I cannot get it 'right'! How many tea bags do you use? * * * * We do not see things as they are, we see things as we are.

Set it out in the sun until I remember to bring it in-usually a couple of hours.

(Luzianne) I had always used Lipton, but my daughter kept telling me that Luzianne was better for iced tea. Sun tea is soooo mellow! * * * * Buckle up! It makes it harder for the aliens to suck you out of your car!

To tell you the truth, I can't tell the difference when it's made by putting 2 family sized tea bags in a 12 cup coffemaker and pours it over ice which melts/dilutes it to right mixture (and take about 5 minutes). I always thought the key to it tasting right was to start with good water. If i use tap water it turns out cloudy-tastes funky, filtered water (brita) seems to make the difference. * * * * Hook em' Plants: 35 | From: West Texas | Registered: May 2004  |  Seeded: 208.35.252.89
