Sun Tea
To make your own sun tea, simply place your chosen tea bags in a pitcher of water and leave it in the sun until the tea has steeped to your desired strength, then pour it over ice and enjoy! Here’s what you’ll need:
The Republic of Tea: For more than 25 years, The Republic of Tea has been crafting premium teas of all types. Each large pouch steeps one whole pitcher so you have plenty to enjoy! Try refreshing flavors like Watermelon Mint Black Tea, Pineapple Orange Guava Green Tea, Hibiscus Sangria Herbal Tea and more.
Loose Leaf Tea: Put your own spin on sun tea by creating a custom blend from our bulk department. Try combinations like Earl Grey tea with lavender flowers, Genmaicha green tea blended with jasmine tea, hibiscus flowers with rosehips, peppermint leaves with chamomile flowers, or your own signature blend!
Norpro Reusable Brew Bags: Keep your tea habit sustainable with reusable brew bags. Made in the USA, these 100% cotton brew bags are perfect for creating your own tea blends, as well as seasoning broths and soups.
Arnold Palmer
Iced tea plus lemonade is a match made in heaven. Sweeten the deal with fun flavors!
Calypso Lemonade: Cool down with these summery thirst-quenchers made with real lemon bits and real sugar. Try fun and vibrant flavors like Island Wave, Paradise Punch, Original, Strawberry and Southern Peach Lemonades with a touch of tea and lots of ice, or enjoy them on their own!
Booze-Infused
For some adults-only sips, give these recipes a try!
Summer Tipsy Tea: This spiked iced tea is a grown-up take on the classic Arnold Palmer: black tea, lemonade, vodka and plenty of ice to keep things cool when temperatures soar.
Sangria Slushies: Make this tempting sip in a snap using bottled sangria, or whip up your own batch with the fresh fruit of your choice. Either way, these slushies go down easy on a hot day!
