I get a 1.5 gallon container, put sixteen Luzianne iced tea bags on the bottom, put a whole orange and lemon over that after slicing them with multiple deep cuts, then put a large coffee mug over the fruit. THEN fill it with filtered cold water and let it set for 24 hours. After that, stir, add water and run through a coffee filter into another container. Add sugar and enjoy.
E-coli alert....

It has been found that sun tea contains levels of E coli bacteria whereas tea that has been made with boiled water does not.
I quit making sun tea years ago because of that. And when I was a professional cook we were told not to make sun tea and serve it in our dining facility.... as if we really had time to make sun tea for 1000...
Wow! Thanks for the recipe.
