It takes time to make the tea, but it’s worth the wait. Refreshing, sweet, and perfect for hot afternoons in the sun.

Get a large glass jar with a lid. For every 500ml of water, you can fit in it, add 1 black tea bag. Orange pekoe or an English breakfast work great.

Put a lid on tight. Leave it in direct sun starting in the morning until about mid afternoon. The slow, relatively low temperature, infusion makes the tea taste great without getting bitter or over-tannic.

It may be lighter in colour than your morning cup but the flavour will be perfect.
