I like green tea for the taste, caffeine, metabolism boost, and immune system boost. Will any of those be neglected by using the sun brewing method? (My oven is broken so I can’t boil water and I am not about to microwave a bowl of water.)

It is possible that solar UV radiation could break down some of the immune boost nutrients, depending upon how long it remains in the sun. But it would not make it harmful in any way, so try it. If you get the same boost, then you are ahead on energy savings.

There is some danger to doing sun tea - the long time period at a tepid temperature can breed bacteria. Make sure the jar you’re using is clean and sterile, and you might want to use distilled or bottled water.

I live in Arizona and we are never short on sunshine. Since avoiding adding any heat to the house is a priority here in the summer, sun tea is a staple. The water gets very hot in the sun in a glass jar so there’s little worry about bacteria. I doubt if a couple of hours in the sun is going to alter the properties in the tea. By the way, we call it “solar tea”. Just another way to be ‘GREEN’!!

I tried this with some green tea. 13 hours later the tea is fresh and bacteria free. I was using a sealed glass container, but it will depend on how much sunlight you get in a day and the type of container. People have used the sun to steep tea for thousands of years as well as heat from fire. Both are safe, natural ways to brew health tea.

If you are under the agreement that tea does tout benefits, then it is not only green tea, but black (basic everyday drinking tea) or red (oolong) tea as well. Green tea simply is less processed
