How we made Sun Tea!


This might be a little late in the season for this, so you might want to wait for warmer weather.  This is how we made our peach tea similar to that of Sonic. 



You will need about 3 peaches cut into slices.  You could really use any type of fruit you want...we chose peaches. 



Create you own simple syrup with equal parts sugar and water, drop in the slices, and bring to a boil. 


Once everything in nice and bubbly, dump everything in your tea jug.  


Fill your tea jug to the top with water, and drop in 4 tea bags.  Take it out back, and just set it in the sun and wait.  The best time to do this is in the morning so that the tea has all day to sit in the sun and marinate. -  (For a more adult version you can add 1 cup vodka)
