Solar-Powered, Sun-Brewed Iced Tea - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 gallon water
    6 -8 tea bags (depending on strength)
    1/4 cup honey (see note)
Preparation
    *Early in the day*: fill a gallon jar with water, tea bags and honey; cover and place jar out in a sunny spot.
    Remove from outdoors, shake jug to be sure the honey is well-mixed; remove tea-bags (these can go in the compost).
    Place jar in fridge to chill (well, duh!).
    Serve over ice cubes or just chilled.
    VARIATIONS: If you're using unflavored tea bags, you can add a flavor by adding several (or fewer) drops of your favorite flavoring extracts to the finished tea: raspberry, orange, blackberry or a combination.
    MONEY-SAVING HINT: Leave the honey out and let everyone add their own sugar when they're served.
