Often when thinking of a British Summer you may be forgiven for thinking of your umbrella just as much as your sunglasses however the nice weather recently got us making some rather yummy drinks while we sat outside in the warmer weather.
Sun tea is exactly what it says 'on the tin', tea brewed in the sunshine! What to do: 1. Find a large jar/jug and put some tea into it (this can be some spoons of loose leaf or a couple of bags) 2. Fill up with cold water either from the tap or cooled boiled water 3. Seal the top with a lid/clingfilm 4. Place in a sunny spot (this could be in the garden or on a windowsill inside) 5. Leave for a few hours to brew (keep moving your jar/jug into the sun if it becomes shaded) 6. Once brewed, remove tea leaves/bags and stir in sugar to taste while it's warm (optional) 7. Either leave to cool in the fridge before serving or serve immediately on it's own or over ice We used Mango & Bergamot tea when we made ours but feel free to experiment and try out some other varieties as tea brewed using this method taste very different to when they are made with hot water.
