If I were you, I wouldn't make it!!! sun tea often has harmful bacteria in it. This bacteria is not fatal, but it can make you sick. The warm temperature of the sun tea creates an ideal environment for this bacteria to flourish.

Cold Brewing

Instead, try making refrigerator tea (known as cold brewing)! Instead of placing the container of water and tea bags out in the sun, put in the fridge for 6-8 hrs!! It works (i've tried it)

First, you will need a teacup, a bag of your favorite tea, and some water.

Boil the water in a pot, kettle or microwave. You will then boil the water. When it is boiling, add the water to the teacup.

Place the teabag in the teacup for a period of time, at least 30 to 60 seconds, and then remove the teabag.

Add milk, sugar, or lemon as desired.

Allow the tea to cool if it is still hot, to avoid burning your tongue.

When using a tea bagStep 1: Heat up your hot water. (boiling or nearly so)

Step 2: Put the tea bag in a cup and pour hot water over it

Step 3: Brew for the amount of time directed on the box (1 to 5 minutes)

Step 4: Remove tea bag. Add milk, sugar, or lemon as desired.

When using loose leaf teaStep 1: Heat up your hot water (boiling or nearly so)

Step 2: Measure out the correct amount of tea and put in a tea ball or tea strainer

Step 3: Put the ball/strainer into a cup or teapot and pour hot water over it (let steep for awhile)

Step 4: Remove tea ball/strainer. Add milk, sugar, or lemon as desired to each cup.

For iced teaUse instructions from above steps but after Step 4 immediately pour the tea into a cup filled to the brim with ice. Add lemon and sugar to taste.

Further Details:

Different teas respond differently to brewing. Whole-leaf teas tend to infuse slower than broken-leaf teas. Many types of green teas often taste better when brewed with water slightly below boiling, whereas black teas often taste best with boiling water or water near boiling. However, brewing is a matter of personal taste, and you need to experiment to find how you like to brew tea.
