• sun tea is one of the first things that comes to mind, it is a summer staple in our house .

  take gallon glass jug and fill w/ cold or hot water, put 4 lg tea bags in and put top on , set in sun on porch or out in sun and let sit all day if you want , bring inside and pour over ice and enjoy or bring in hrs before meal time and refrigerate to get cold .

  you can also get flavored tea bags and make flavored sun tea that way. I know this is,nt much but hope it helps.

• OK this probably sounds weird, but I make all the hot flavoered herbal teas and then put them on ice.  I love chamomile, mango, honey lemon, raspberry.  and to me hot tea extracts way more flavor than those iced tea mixes.

• Hi there!!  Okay, so a very simple yet yummy variation on the sun tea above (brew the sun tea as she explains above) and then plop in a can of frozen lemonade and mix.  The tea acts like the water you would normally use and it makes a home made and delicious Arnold Palmer!  My hubby lives on it during the summer.

  Enjoy!

  Thanks for the great idea.  I just made my first batch of the season of sun tea but will definitely try this next.

  I mix RASPBERRY HERBAL TEA 5-7 bags with 2-3 cups with hot water, let it steep for 20 minutes then add no sugar added apple juice. Serve over Ice...really refreshing.

• Hi there... those other recipes sound great.  We used to always do sun tea, but im in a city were there is barely any sun.  My weird lil thing i do now...my dh is a big hot tea drinker (cooked in a tea pot and all).  I take the left over tea, mix with water (its usually pretty strong)-add my sugar and lemon and toss in the freezer.  In a couple of hours its nice and slushy.  I also did this with green tea, some honey and lemon-and it was yummy.  Its just my way of making sure we dont waste all the tea my dh drinks and i get the drink i want :)

•  Hi there, I make suntea for dh(he likes that best) and add frozen peaches or berries for the ice cubes, once it's chilled.  Super yumptious.

  I also drink herbal, green and black teas brewed from loose leaf tea, a teapot and teaball/strainer.  I know it sounds old fashioned, truly it's the best tea you'll ever taste.  After it's done brewing, I pour it in a heatproof pitcher and chill it.  I drink it iced and will also use the frozen fruit for my tea, too.

  I get my tea from The Tea Smith.
