This is the summer of sun tea brewing. It has become habit forming.
About every other day I fill a gallon sized Fido jar halfway with water, add about 1/2 cup of sugar, and plop in one large black tea bag. It brews outside in the sun for at least 5- 6 hours. We have discovered it has the most mellow yet vibrant taste of Just Right Sweet Tea, the kind even I enjoy drinking. I have thought of that special jar my mother had years ago when this was "the thing" to do! Do you perhaps have memories of those jars too?
