Sun Tea
Any sunny day brew a hearty bottle of sun tea for a refreshing drink. Fill mason jars or vintage glass milk bottles with fresh water, suspend 4 of your favorite standard tea bags in the water for each quart of tea. Cover and rest in the sun an hour to steep. Remove tea bags. Chill or serve over ice cubes before serving with simple syrup.
