To make the sun stuff is pretty easy.
Get one of those huge mason jars, like they serve pickled eggs in. I'd recommend one that DIDN'T have the pickled eggs in it already.
Fill the container almost to the top with hot water. Using tea bags with the strings on them (yes, just like a tampon), you hang the tea bags (how strong you want it depends on how many you use), and close the lid so the bags are in the water and the tags are hanging out of the jar, with the strings pinched in the lid. Find a nice, sunny spot and let that sucker sit all day in the hot sun.
Squeeze out the tea bags into the jar to get all the nectar from it, get yourself a tall glass and pour the tea over the ice. ENJOY!

Hey Jeff- Thanks for bringing this up. It started my craving and all week I've been brewing. We're going through a lot, but the trade off is that we really haven't been drinking much soda. Just tea, lemons/oranges, and honey.
I've been brewing the tea in my coffee press, hackin' up lemons and oranges, and putting honey in to the pitcher while hot. Stir a couple of times as it's cooling down, and when the pitcher has cooled, I put it in the fridge.
I really want to try the sun-brewed stuff. Maybe over the weekend. |

Here's my high brow white trash recipe for what was always called Ice Box Tea when I was growin' up...
1 1GAL. Cheap Plastic Pitcher (clear works nice 'cause it'll get all patina'd with time and usage)
3 Family Size Lipton Tea Bags
2 Cups Sugar (I've since switched to 1 1/2 cups of Ideal or Truvia)
Run the kitchen tap as hot as it will go...
Start slowly filling pitcher with water...adding sweetener as it fills, to help with disolving...
Drop in your (take 'em out of the wrappers first) tea bags...
(I don't remove them until I make the next batch)
Stir if you're one of those...
Put pitcher in Fridge (or Ice Box if you're from my family)...
It'll be ready to do it's quenching duties within a couple of hours.
Enjoy.
*edited for pitcher size... |

| sweet tea is the norm around here. i drank it all types of ways. fresh mint and lemon (but not too much) are really good. they even have a tea plantation that makes vodka sweet tea on the coast of south carolina. |

Up here in Canuckistan, iced tea (sweet tea in the USA) is an awful sweet, powdered concoction or it is bought off the shelf in plastic bottles like Nestea Brisk or whatever that shit is called.
The real deal that you guys are talking about is much better. |

| another good variation on sweet tea is fruit tea, for a quart of sweet tea add 1 cup of orange and 1 cup of pineapple juice |
