Minty Sun Tea
Minty Sun Tea
Okay, this isn’t really sun tea — it’s fridge tea! But “sun tea” was the term people first used when they realized you could make tea without boiling the water, just by leaving it out in the sun! It turns out it’s even better if you just put it in the refrigerator. The tea comes out great, and you never have to turn the stove on. That saves energy, which makes this a doubly green recipe!
