I am on Weight Watchers so I must drink several glasses of liquid daily and Sun Tea is my favorite. I begin with a clear glass half gallon container - plastic works as long as it's clear (see through). Fill it up then place 4 regular sized or 2 family sized tea bags and let it sit in a sunny spot. My sunny spot is my kitchen windowsill. After 3+ hours, your tea will be brewed. I add fresh lemons and Truvia sweetener to my glass plus ice and ENJOY!! Tastes like old times just like my grandma used to make and it's very reasonable, too!!

Thanks everyone for the help.
