Luzianne tea bags. Only Luzianne. Exactly 9 bags in a clear one-gallon jar (I use an old pickle jar). Not 8 bags, not 10 bags. 9 bags. Stir in sugar to taste (I like it on the light end so like 1/2 cup for a gallon of water). Set it in the sun until it turns the right color.
I swear this technique is just *different.*

How can you get enough sugar to dissolve without some boiling water in recipe somewhere?

Someone(me) bumped the test button on the GFCI that the small refrigerator in the garage was plugged into. 🔌 Much gnashing of teeth ensued a few days later when the issue was discovered.

Gets plenty warm in that jar on a spring or summer day. I've never had any problem.
I mix up unsweetened Kool-Aid with cold water all the time too (I use Stevia for that, but same idea).

I just got the promotion I was angling for at work. Now my enemies will pay.

I am not patient enough for the sun. I take a 1 quart pyrex cup and fill with cold water. Add three family-sized tea bags, yes Luzianne is good. Tetley is tasty as well. I also add either one peppermint herbal tea bag or several sprigs of fresh peppermint in season. Microwave for 5 minutes. While this is nuking, put your sugar in your pitcher (I do a third cup at most, less is needed with the peppermint) and add 2 cups of cold water. The sugar WILL dissolve. When the nuking stops, let it sit for a few more minutes to brew. Pour into pitcher. Pout two more cups of cold water over the tea bags and let sit a couple of minutes. Pout remainder into pitcher and squeeze all you can get out of the bags. I love strong tea, especially when you're going to dilute it over ice. Wa-la!

Wa-la!

The. Absolute. Best.

I only do sun tea in the summer (because that's the proper time to drink sweet tea), and it's never taken more than an hour or two.

Wa-la!

This should be illegal.

This is a callback to a callback. Brilliant stuff.

It does also mean that I had barbecue beef sandwiches for lunch and will have pulled pork for dinner. This wasn't necessarily a bad outcome.

Same. And I'm not appreciably taller and it hit too close to home.

I loved to watch Ian Woosnam out at the National. 5’ 4.5” and could smack the ball a country mile.
