How to Make Strawberry Mint Sun Tea

  1. Combine 8 cups of cold water, 4 black tea bags, and 1 cup of fresh mint leaves in a large, clear glass pitcher or jar.
  2. Cover the pitcher loosely with a clean dish towel or cheesecloth to prevent insects from entering.
  3. Place the pitcher in direct sunlight for 4-6 hours, or until the tea reaches your desired strength. (For a quicker brew, use 8 cups of boiling water and steep for 10-20 minutes)
  4. While the tea steeps, hull and slice 1 pound of fresh strawberries.
  5. Once steeped, remove the tea bags and mint leaves.
  6. Divide the sliced strawberries and ice among six tall glasses.
  7. Pour the sun tea over the strawberries and ice in each glass.
  8. Sweeten each glass to taste with sugar or honey.
  9. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs (optional).
  10. Enjoy your delicious and refreshing Strawberry Mint Sun Tea!
