Easy Sun Tea with Mint Recipe
Stroll outdoors to your herb garden and gather a a handful of mint sprigs. Check the clippings for any bugs or blight. Deadhead or trim away any flowers and discard. Rinse the stems with leaves still attached under a water faucet. Fill your container with purified water, add tea bags (one tea bag per quart) leaving enough room to stuff in your mint clippings. Cover jar with lid and set in sun to brew. Chill in fridge.
To serve: Pour mint tea over ice in drinking glasses. Serve plain or with honey.
Note: It is best to make no more tea than you will consume in 3 days. You can experiment with the different varieties of mint herbs to discover your favorite. I favor orange and variegated pineapple mint over the traditional peppermint herb.
