It is delicious. All this sun tea talk inspired me to get out the old jar and have some before the snow flies, believe it or not my new favorite tea is plain old Tetley’s black tea. It is delicious.

There's a fantastic lemon verbena pork ball recipe that is unsurpassed (especially when made along with the spicy coleslaw recipe in the same cookbook) Yum! Let us know how the pineapple sage works out. I've found its fantastic aroma doesn't translate when used in cooking, but I'd love to hear otherwise from you!

And peppermint (or any mint for that matter) is a great choice for infusing simple syrups! Lemon balm would definitely work, though it will deliver a stronger lemony punch than lemon verbena.

I bet that would make a good substitute. Hi Willi, I don’t have any lemon verbena but I do have some lemon balm in my herb garden. I bet that would make a good substitute.

When I was a kid my mom pretty much always had a jar of sun tea brewing on the deck! And Robin, I keep reading about agave nectar. I think I'll finally have to pick some up the next time I go shopping. Sun tea makes awesome sweet tea. When I was a kid my mom pretty much always had a jar of sun tea brewing on the deck!

Its often so sweet its syrupy. In our family, we didn't bother with a simple syrup. We just stirred in sugar to the hot, steeping tea. Today, at home, I make iced tea daily, all year. I toss in a dash of sweetener just to cut the bite; my adult butt can't afford true sweet tea every day. I've started using Agave Nectar instead of sugar. Its lower on the glycemic scale AND it dissolves instantaneously (better dissolver than honey, but don't expect the taste of honey.) Can't wait to try the lemon verbena recipe. I adore this particular citrusy flavor! It should be amazing with the bergamont/lavender taste of Earl Grey! Sweet tea takes me back to visiting every Virginia relative I have.

I grew up drinking my neighbor's sweet sun tea, which still is the standard bearer for what tea ought to be in my book. This recipe sounds great, I'll have to try it before the weather remembers what city we live in. Thanks! I adore sweet tea.
