Ingredients
*12 cups water
*1/4 cup sugar (but I suggest replacing sugar with honey)
*3 inches fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
*12-16 green tea bags
*Strawberries
*Limes (quartered)
*Orange peel strips
*Ice Cubes
Note: As you will see, the strawberries, limes and oranges are for decorating purposes. You can use as much or little as you'd like.
Directions
1) In a large saucepan combine water, sugar, and ginger. Bring to a boil and reduce heat. Simmer for 5 minutes and remove from heat. Then add the tea bags, let stand covered for 3 minutes. Remove the tea bags, then strain and discard the ginger.
2) Put your tea into a 1 gallon pitcher or punch bowl. Cover, and let cool for about an hour. I would suggest letting it chill for a little longer however, just to make sure your drinking "iced tea" and not "kind of cold" tea. I would suggest at least 6 hours, but preferably at least 12.
3) Meanwhile, alternate your strawberries, lime quarters, and orange peel strips on a 12 inch wooden skewer. Place this inside your pitcher or bowl for decoration. You'll also get a small amount of flavor from the fruits as well.
4) When everything is ready, pour your iced tea over ice cubes and enjoy!
This makes about 12 8oz. servings

• Sun Tea with Honey and Lemon
Sun Tea uses the heat of the sun to brew tea, so it’s strong without being bitter. Be patient - it takes a whole day to brew, so if you are looking for instant gratification you might try another recipe in the meantime.

Step 2. Put a lid on the pitcher and set it out in the sun. Make sure it’s somewhere where it will get a full day of sunlight.
Step 3. Wait 8 hours.
Step 4. Remove the tea bags and place the pitcher in the fridge.
