Recipe Sun Tea

When I was a kid, I didn't care for Iced Tea because it was too bitter.
As an adult and home cook, I discovered making Sun Tea.

Sun Tea

Ingredients:

Large Glass, covered jar/container
24 g. Black Tea in bags (I like Luzianne brand here in the US)
2 qt. filtered Water

Method:

Place the Tea Bags in the glass container
Fill with the Filtered Water
Cover
Place in a sunny spot
"Brew" to your desired strength (I go for strong Tea - maybe 4 hours in full sunlight)
Remove the Tea Bags
Chill & serve as you wish

Interesting - what does the sun do to it, I wonder?

Morning Glory Sun Tea isn't as bitter, it's much smoother if you can say that about Tea.
This is how I make Iced Tea all the time, I don't use boiling water any longer.

I was reading about that earlier have looked it up, I gather the same applies to ice coffee, be it by the sun and its much smoother as well. I can see some experiments happening. I like very little in the way of tea because of the tannins, so I wonder if this might help?

SatNavSaysStraightOn for myself, I can say that by brewing the Tea in Sun I don't seem to taste much tannins, which is a huge reason why I don't like to drink Black Tea.
I drink loads of Peppermint and Chamomile Teas, herbal.
