Instructions
How to Make Sun Tea
- Combine water and Truvia in a large glass container. Stir gently until the sweetener is dissolved to ensure a refreshing taste.
- Add the lemon slices, halved strawberries, and the tea bag. This step is where the vibrant flavors begin to mingle and create a fruity base.
- Seal the container tightly and place it in direct sunlight for 1-2 hours. The sun’s warmth will naturally brew the tea while infusing it with the sweetness of the fruit.
- Serve the tea over ice, allowing the coolness to perfectly complement the summer flavors.
- Optional: For a stronger flavor, let the tea and fruit infuse in the refrigerator overnight.
Notes
Use high-quality tea bags for richer flavor; avoid tea dust for a smoother taste. Fresh strawberries and lemons yield the best taste. Customize with herbs or other fruits as you prefer.
