Lemon Basil Sun Tea

8 - 10 tea bags
12 C filtered or distilled water
2 lemons
1 large bunch of fresh basil
1 C sugar (or your choice of sweetener)
Ice cubes

In a one gallon glass jar/container/dispenser, put water. Add juice from one lemon. Slice the other lemon into thin rounds and add those too.

Squeeze and twist basil in your hands, then add to dispenser. Stir.

Add tea bags to the dispenser, leaving the paper tea tags hanging outside.

Put the lid on and set the dispenser in direct sunlight for 4-5 hours. The longer it sits the darker it will be.

When ready, remove tea bags and scoop out basil. Add sugar, stir. Add Ice cubes to fill dispenser. Serve and enjoy!
