Using the natural rays of the sun to make tea is fun and popular in the summer. However, using such a method to make tea is highly discouraged. Sun tea is the perfect medium for bacteria to grow. If the sun tea has a thick or syrupy appearance, it may be due to the presence of ropy bacteria. Ropy bacteria are commonly found in soil and water.
As a result, the Center for Disease Control and the National Tea Association recommend the following when brewing tea:
* Steep tea bags at the correct temperature and time for the tea type.
* Steep only enough tea that can be consumed within a few hours.
* Never maintain steeped tea for more than eight hours at room temperature. Discard any unused tea after eight hours.
* Wash, rinse and sanitize tea-making equipment regularly.
* Store tea bags in a dark, cool and dry place away from strong odors and moisture. Do not store in the refrigerator.
We hope you will find this information about sun tea helpful.
