And, once you've got the hang of this operation (that should, indeed, take no more than one try), you can do some experimenting to spice up the flavor a bit. Substitute a bag of green or herb tea for one of "traditional" orange pekoe, for instance. You could also throw in some sassafras bark, mint leaves, dried lemon or orange rind, cinnamon . . . or create your own savory invention!

Whatever tangy combination you settle on, though, you'll find—as I do-that the gentle heat of solar brewing gives your "sunshine tea" a much smoother and less bitter taste than that ol' 'biled water" residue has

So the next time you're planning to fix up some refreshing iced tea ... don't you do it. Let Me sun brew it!

EDITOR'S NOTE: A fine collection of sun brew ideas and recipes can be found in the article, "Solar Tea", MOTHER NO. 34, page 80 (although the herb pennyroyal—mentioned in one of the recipes — should, accord ing to more recent research, be used with caution). Back issues can be ordered from THE MOTHER EARTH NEWS®, P.O. Box 70, Hendersonville, North Carolina 28739 ... for $2.50 each, plus $1.00 shipping and handling per order.
