1 liter of fresh water (preferably filtered)

Loose-leaf tea of your choice:

Fill a glass pitcher with 1 liter of fresh water.

Add the tea leaves directly – no filter or strainer needed.

Cover the pitcher and leave it in the sun for at least 5 hours (ideally 6–8 hours for a stronger brew).

Strain the tea and store it in a glass bottle in the fridge.

Consume within 5 days.

Aromatic Ice Cubes: Freeze some of the same tea to make ice cubes that won’t dilute the flavor.

Add-ins: Fresh fruits, mint, or lemon for natural taste.

Zero Calories: A perfect drink for those watching their diet.

Kid- and Vegan-Friendly: Caffeine-free options like rooibos or herbal teas, with no animal-derived additives.
