Guilt-Free Citrus Green Sun Tea

An amazing drink that screams spring! Easy to make and healthy and refreshing to drink. If you don’t have green tea, this will also work with regular black tea.

Ingredients:

Sun Tea:

1.75 quarts approximately of cold water

5 tea bags

Lemony Sugar Syrup:

1/3 cup of white sugar

1/3 cup of water

¼ cup of lemon juice, which is approximately the juice of one large lemon

The zest of one lemon

Directions:

Find the sunniest room/window in your house. Fill a pitcher with the cold water and add the tea bags.  Put the pitcher in the sun and let it sit for approximately 24 hours. Then you can make the simple syrup. Place the water, sugar, lemon juice, and zest in a pot. Heat this on medium low til the sugar dissolves. After the 24 hours is up, mix the tea and remove the bags. Pour in the simple syrup and mix again. Chill in the fridge for a couple of hours and enjoy.
