Instructions:
Drop tea bags into jar. Pour water into jar.
Screw lid onto the jar. Place in sun. Loosen lid(to allow for expansion).
Set tea in sun 4 hours to all day. Be sure to tighten back lid before
you move it ;-) Also be careful it may still br hot!
Science fair ideas:
-Try using a second jar painted black (you can get black spray paint from Walmart for .97)
Use a thermometer and measure the differance. Which is warmer? Why.
-What time of day do you get the best results.
Note: You can do the science experiment without buying jars. Just use two
identical empty soda bottles.
Caution: If the tea tastes "odd" it may be caused by bacteria
growth if the temperature is never gets to high enough to pasteurize(160 degrees F).
This should not be a problem on hot sunny days. But on cloudy or cold days
an adult should inspect the tea first.
