Want to know an alternative to making tea without heating up your kitchen? It’s simple, use the sun! As the summer weather comes around, the temperature could reach a peak of 100 degrees or higher!
For this recipe, glass is preferred over plastic for brewing sun tea. Glass is perfect for a few reasons.
- Glass withstands high temperatures & it allows for sunlight to begin the oxygenation process that eventually brews the tea.
- Glass is best used to keep food and drinks fresher for longer. Using glass will ensure you get the same bold, yet smooth flavor you know and love!
- Lastly, glass is reusable and exclusively natural; it can be recycled indefinitely without losing quality or purity.
