Notes
Tea Bag combination ideas
I find that it is easier to do the combinations of teas when using the regular sized tea bags rather than the family size.
Two ginger peach & two green tea bags
Two ginger peach & two vanilla tea bags
Two green tea & two vanilla tea bags
Two black tea & two lemon ginger tea bags
Two green & two mint tea bags
Two of your favorite berry tea bags, one vanilla & one green tea bag
Try a few mix and match combos and find the one that is just right for you.
How Long Does Sun Tea Last in the Fridge?
Sun tea typically lasts about 2-3 days in the fridge. It's important to keep it refrigerated and discard it if it starts to smell or taste off. I find that if I add the sugar and flavorings to each individual glass, the black tea itself can last in the refrigerator up to a week.
