Also known as ice tea...

I know I watched my mom make it a thousand times as a child...but I cannot get it 'right'! [thinker]

How many tea bags do you use? [dunno]

I have an old pickle jar that I fill up with water and then add 12 tea bags and a handful of peppermint leaves. Set it out in the sun until I remember to bring it in-usually a couple of hours. [grin]

Yep, I use 12 teabags also. (Luzianne)
I had always used Lipton, but my daughter kept telling me that Luzianne was better for iced tea.

Sun tea is soooo mellow!

Buckle up! It makes it harder for the aliens to suck you out of your car!

My mom has a one gallon jar that she put 4 family sized tea bags in and leaves it out pretty much all day. To tell you the truth, I can't tell the difference when it's made by putting 2 family sized tea bags in a 12 cup coffemaker and pours it over ice which melts/dilutes it to right mixture (and take about 5 minutes). I always thought the key to it tasting right was to start with good water. If i use tap water it turns out cloudy-tastes funky, filtered water (brita) seems to make the difference. [grin]
