How to Make Florence's Fantabulous Crystal Clear Sun Or Moon Tea

  1. Combine 6 tea bags (your favorite black tea works best) and 8 cups of filtered water in a large heatproof pitcher.
  2. Steep the tea bags for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags and let the tea cool to room temperature.
  3. Once cooled, add Splenda to taste. Start with 1/2 cup and adjust to your preference.
  4. Refrigerate the tea for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and ensure a perfectly chilled beverage.
  5. To serve, pour over ice. Garnish with lemon wedges or your preferred additions. If the tea becomes cloudy, add a small amount of boiling water to the pitcher and stir gently. The cloudiness should disappear. This clarifies the tea by dissolving any remaining tea solids.
  6. Serve chilled and enjoy with our recommended Lemon Peel Ice Cubes (Recipe #283319) or your favorite additions. An optional pairing with recipe #313466 is also suggested!
