My neighbors always used to make sun tea during the summers and now I wish I did too.
How to make sun tea
It made me
refreshed 
"Very tasty!"
How I did it: I took a glass pitcher, filled it with water, stuck approximately 10 Lipton tea bags in the water and then put it outside, in the sun, for several hours to brew. After it looked like the tea done brewing, I brought it in and tasted it to make sure that it was strong enough. I wrung out the tea bags, added sugar, chilled the tea and then enjoyed it.
Lessons & tips: Make sure that you use enough tea bags. I can't tell you exactly how many to use for what size pitcher, but if your tea tastes weak, add more bags and put it back in the sun. If it is too strong, add a little more water.
Resources: I used good old city water and Lipton tea bags.

You don’t need the fancy sun tea jar with the little spout with flowers painted on it. I just used one of our earth quake gal of water that had expired( How the hell does water expire?) I put in 6 decaf tea bags with the tags hanging out & replaced the cap, to keep the bugs out. (You may want to put in up to 12 if you like your tea strong) I put it in the sun until I saw the water turn to tea! I read that if you leave it too long you can build up bacteria :P You can put the whole thing in the fridge to “brew” some more. Carefully take out the bags & squeeze them one at a time( you don’t want them to break & leave little tea leaves floating around, yucky. I like to add Stevia from Trader Joe’s to sweeten it. Pour over ice. Enjoy.
it was ok overall

I’d say the sun tea turned out alright. It was a little on the lighter side for iced tea but I guess that is the point of sun tea in the first place compared to boiled iced tea.
