Chamomile Green Sun Tea

Image via Wikipedia

I am still finding ways to use these tea bags up. This is a good tea to enjoy on the patio in the evenings. Chamomile tea is said to aid in relaxation.

NOTE: I placed the pitcher at the center of my patio table to brew. When I brought the pitcher back into the house, the tea was still as cool as the water was when I brought it out.

Ingredients

4 green tea bags (decaffeinated)

5 chamomile tea bags

1 gallon water

1. Place the tea bags in a gallon size pitcher.
2. Fill the pitcher with cold water and cover.
3. Set it outside in a sunny spot for 1 hour.
4. Bring in and place in the refrigerator.
5. Whenever you want a glass, fill one with ice and pour the tea over it. The tea can be used as soon as it is brought in.

 

Tips

• Use store brand tea bags to save money.
• Use a clear glass jar.
• Mix up the flavors using different types of tea bags.
• Add sugar if desired. Start with 2/3 cup. Eventually, by using a little less each time making the tea, you should be able to cut down to little or no sugar.
• You can use decaffeinated tea bags for this recipe.

 

Serving Suggestions

• Serve over ice with a lemon slice.
