BooZhoo Marty,

Oh, thank you for reminding me. :-) Yes, I have made it in the summer time, like that. However, never tried it in the winter. Would probably have to sit the jar in a window facing the sun. Do you make it in the winter? And how?

Oh, on boiling water for tea, after boiling the water, let it sit for a few minutes before adding it to the tea. It shouldn't be bitter then. It's not when I make my teas. But I do agree that the sun tea is the best. :-)
