Summertime DIY Mason Jar Iced Tea

Do-It-Yourself Summer Sun Tea

June is #NationalIcedTeaMonth

Remember making your own Sun Tea during the Summer?  That wonderfully refreshing beverage that quenches thirst on a hot Summer day?  Whether a pleasant childhood memory, or you are looking to try Sun Tea for the first time, follow these simple steps to enjoy your own DIY Sun Tea in honor of National Iced Tea Month this June!

What you'll need:

• Mason Jar (2 quart size)
• 4 Tea Bags of your favorite tea
• Water
• Sunshine

How to make Sun Tea:

1. Fill one 2-quart glass mason jar to the top with water, add four tea bags and cap the mason jar lid.
2. Place outside on the south side of your house in direct sunshine for about 3 hours.
3. After three hours has passed, place the Mason jar in the refrigerator, or pour the tea into a large glass filled with ice to the top.
4. Add a lemon or try a quarter of glass of Lemonade if you want to make it an Arnold Palmer.  

Please take note:
Sun Tea must be refrigerated, because it will not keep as well as iced tea made from boiling water.  Also, make sure to drink it the same day as brewed to ensure freshness. Repeat steps as many times as necessary all summer long, and enjoy your Summer.
