Broccoli Casserole

Awhile back, the church my husband’s family attends in Oregon put together a recipe book as a fundraiser for the church.  It is a professionally printed and bound book, Generations of Cherished Recipes from St. Thomas Becket Parishioners.  My mother-in-law gave me a copy for Christmas because the family submitted heavily, so it was her way of passing on a lot of their family recipes to me.  So I’m going to periodically publish some of the recipes bestowed upon me and spread the love!

Sun Tea

Submitted by star2fire

Ingredients

1 gal purified water 8 Lipton tea bags
1 c. sugar

Directions

  1. Sun Tea by switcherMark on FlickrDrink some of the water from the jug to make room for the tea bags. Put the tea bags down in the jug & put the lid back on the jug. 
  2. Put the whole jug out in the yard somewhere sunny & leave it there for about 8 hours.
  3. When you bring it in, take the tea bags out. You might need to pour out a little bit more to make room for the sugar. 
  4. Add sugar while the tea is still warm because the sugar will dissolve nicely in the warm tea.
  5. Shake it until the sugar disappears, then put it in the fridge & let it chill down. Enjoy!
