Recipe: Mint sun tea
Herbal and spiced teas
September 01, 2011
Sun tea -a recipe from Native Americans- is an alternative way to prepare tea without boiling the water but using the sun's heat instead.
I harvested a bunch of white mint in the morning, and let it several hours in the sun. We enjoyed this extraordinary tea, warm, strong and refreshing.
White Mint sun tea
Place a bunch of white mint (or fresh mint of your choice) in one liter of water.
Expose the container to the direct sun and let steep for about four-five hours.
The sun tea can be drunk immediately when ready (it will be pleasantly warm), with or without sugar, or can be put in the refrigerator and consumed within 24 hours.
Every tea or herbal tea can be prepared as a sun tea without boiling water.
