Ingredients
  

  • 6-8 black tea bags
  • 8 cups filtered water
  • 6-8 large fresh lemons
  • 1 to 1.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 cups cold water
  • Optional garnish: lemon slices, mint sprigs, berries

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Sun Tea: Place 6-8 black tea bags into a clean, large glass jar and fill with 8 cups of filtered water. Cover securely.
  2. Brew the Sun Tea: Place the jar in a sunny spot for 3-5 hours until desired strength is reached.
  3. Cool the Sun Tea: Remove tea bags and let the tea cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled.
  4. Make the Simple Lemonade: Juice lemons to get about 1.5 cups of juice. Combine with 1 to 1.5 cups of sugar and 4 cups of cold water in a pitcher, stirring until sugar dissolves.
  5. Combine the Punch: Pour the chilled sun tea into the lemonade mixture and stir gently.
  6. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate for at least an hour, then serve over ice with garnishes.
