We had a wonderful sunny day here in Colorado today, and I took advantage of the solar power to make "Sun Tea." This is an American form of Sun worship. We take a glass gallon container, fill with ice-cold water, drop in several bags of tea (I used one Tetleys and 2 PG Tips), then set it in a very sunny place. The tea is brewed not by heat, but by the rays of the Sun. The tea produced is very smooth and full-bodied without being sharp or tannic. Makes a terrific iced tea.
