Dr. Keri Marshall gave us an easy super-delicious recipe for Sun Tea:
– Find a glass jar with a lid (spaghetti sauce jar).
– Fill with spring water
– Throw in some mint leaves (peppermint or spearmint – buy fresh at market if you aren’t growing them)
– Place lid on top and put in sunny spot outside
– Over time watch the water change color
– When a rich color, take it inside and filter out the mint leaves
– Add honey and lemon juice to taste
– Serve on ice. Very refreshing and delicious!
Kids can make this from beginning to end. If they make enough, they can set up a Sun Tea stand and sell it!
Side health benefits: great for digestion, antioxidant, anti0microbial making it a breath refresher
Side budget benefit: cheaper than buying the not-as-good-for-you flavored teas in cans and bottles.
Enjoy this summer drink!
… for the health of your family,
