How I make Single Serve Sun Tea

Hello there!

Sweet or Unsweet?

Here in Texas we love our sweet tea, with ice.....in case you didn't know.  It's especially refreshing on our 100 plus degree days in the summertime.  We've had 34 of those days so far in 2022 and it's not even August yet!

OMGoodness!

Once upon a time I wrote a post on my secret to the best sweet tea.  It was for a gallon size and not a single serving.  You can see that here.

In this post I'm going to share with you how I make a single serving of the best sweet tea!  The actual best part, no heating up the kitchen stove!

You will need the following items to make my single serving sweet tea:

1 pint jar with lid (preferably glass)

1 family size tea bag - I like my tea strong, so adjust to your liking.

Water - I use bottled water because I am not boiling the water.....or am I? LOL!

Mint (optional)

Sugar

Sunshine - 2-3 hours worth
 

Fill your jar with water, leaving room for the tea bag.

Add the tea bag to your jar of water, push down to wet the paper.

I added mint from my half dying herb garden, just for fun!

Place the lid on tight.

Sit your jar in full sun for about 2-3 hours.

It was still 105 degrees when I brought my tea in a little after 6pm!  It's ridiculous here yall! Help!

Remove the tea bag, squeeze, trash or throw into your compost bowl.

Remove your mint leaves if you added them.  You would add sugar at this point as well, if you prefer it.

Pour over LOTS of ice, the tea is still hot and will melt the ice slightly to add water to you mixture.  If you prefer to drink it hot, you may need to add some hot water as well, its up to you!

My plastic glass and straw are by Pioneer Woman, from Walmart. THIS is my coaster set, also PW.

Garnish with mint and enjoy!  Patio sippin' is best, but sip anywhere that makes you happy!

I hope you get to try this soon and enjoy it as much as I do!

If you loved any of these ideas and want to save them for later, be sure to pin it to your favorite Pinterest board.  I have a Pinterest board set up for all kinds of food and drinks and its called Yumminess.  I'm pinning something new on Pinterest every day. Won't you join me?
