CLASSIC ICED SUN TEA



Classic Iced Sun Tea image

Bright sunlight helps slow-brew Ceylon orange pekoe tea and cold water into a deeply flavored beverage strong enough to withstand abundant ice, yet without bitterness, making it a favorite for a summer day.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Drink Recipes

Yield Makes about 12 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

12 cups cold water
4 tablespoons loose Ceylon orange pekoe tea (or 12 tea bags)
Ice, for serving
Mint sprigs or lemon slices, for garnish

Steps:

  • Pour water over tea, and steep in bright sunlight until rich brown and translucent but not cloudy, 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Strain. Serve over ice with garnish.

Tips:

  • Use fresh mint leaves: Fresh mint leaves impart the best flavor to sun-brewed mint tea. If you don't have fresh mint, you can use dried mint, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Choose the right type of water: Filtered or spring water is best for sun-brewing mint tea. Avoid using tap water, as it may contain impurities that can affect the taste of the tea.
  • Use a clean glass jar: The glass jar you use to brew the tea should be clean and free of any residue. This will help to ensure that the tea tastes its best.
  • Let the tea steep for at least 4 hours: The longer you let the tea steep, the more flavorful it will be. However, don't let it steep for more than 8 hours, as the tea may become bitter.
  • Store the tea properly: Once the tea is brewed, it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Be sure to store the tea in a covered container to prevent it from absorbing other flavors.

Conclusion:

Sun-brewed mint tea is a refreshing and flavorful beverage that is perfect for enjoying on a hot summer day. It is also a healthy alternative to sugary drinks, and it can provide a number of health benefits, including improved digestion, reduced stress, and boosted immunity. If you're looking for a delicious and healthy way to stay hydrated, sun-brewed mint tea is a great choice.
