I used to make it all the time when I lived in AZ. I'll have to get a big glass jar so I can make it here.

Actually, dry skin is caused by dehydration. So make sure everyone drinks enough liquids this weekend and into the summer!

Crap! Even I'm not quite that hardcore. I'm 3 tea bags and about 2 1/2 cups of sugar for a pitcher.

I don't know what this sun tea is you folks speak of, but I use about 10 tea bags and maybe a little more than a half of cup of sugar. I like my tea lightly sweetened.

Sounds like you like your sugar heavily tea'd! 10 bags!?

Sun Tea - set out in a glass container and you let the sun heat/brew the tea

It doesn't hurt to ask.
