The weather is finally warming and I pulled out my sun tea pitchers from deep storage. This one is a natural for sun tea, so I thought I'd post it. It's nothing special, but it's easy and a refreshing twist on the typical Lipton's tea bags.
Chai Sun Tea
2 inches fresh ginger, sliced thin
2 sticks cinnamon
6 peppercorns
6 whole cloves
6 cardamom pods (a couple more if you like cardamom)
6 black tea bags
Wrap the spices in cheesecloth and drop into a 1 gallon tea pitcher. Leave out in the sun for at least a couple of hours. Enjoy warm or cold.
Garlic chana dal.

That sounds lovely. I've got everything but the cardamom pods, which I'll pick up next time I'm at the natural foods store. I love chai, but I've never tried it as sun tea. Thanks for the inspiration!
I LOVE sun tea, this sounds so good!
Funny thing is, since I made this tea, we've had hardly a stitch of sun. Oregon is AWESOME that way =/
