But, I have no FRESH leaves (even if I did I wouldn't know what to use...my plant knowledge is extremely limited. They all look similar for the most part. Poison Ivy could end up in my new found brew)!! Anyway, can I use those Lipton prepackaged sun teas, and what do you all recommend? Thanks so much This sounds great!!!!

It's usually about 1 teaspoon per cup of water and with fresh herbs about 2 teaspoons per cup. Juli: If the leaves are dried you should half the amount used.

Fun hot days ahead... love this idea, tho i have no real mint this year–instead I read a bit into it, and I found I can make it with my Golden Hyssop (a kind of licorice mint I think) and also Bee Balm.

I don't want to knock it at all.. its an interesting way to make tea, but I find that making it the "lazy" way tastes the exact same. I personally prefer the lazy method because I enjoy my tea best piping hot lol. I am a dainty sipper ha ha I have made sun tea before.

It helped that we had planted lots of mint in the spring and they kept asking what "good was it to plant so much". Well, it was pretty darn good for tea! Thanks for the idea!

In fact, I may "cheat" a bit and fill Poland Springs bottle up with water and mint and leave it in the front seat of my car while I'm at work, so I can take home some mint tea to enjoy after dinner.
