QuestionWhy isn't sun tea popular anymore? Does it turn moldy or something?Community AnswerYes, pretty much! Sun tea brews at a temperature that is high enough to encourage rapid bacterial growth, but not high enough to kill any of that bacteria, so it is generally considered unsafe to drink. (You wouldn't eat cold food that had been left out in the hot sun for the same reason!) You can approximate sun tea more safely by adding tea bags to a pitcher of water and leaving it to steep overnight in the refrigerator, but it is not nearly as strong as iced tea brewed using the above methods.

QuestionAfter brewing and making the tea, how long is it possible to leave in the fridge until it becomes unsafe to drink?Community AnswerTypically, three days. Five days for sweet tea, because the sugar can act as a preservative. Your tea can start to chemically alter depending on many factors (such as water quality, fridge temperature, and whether or not it is stored in a closed container). Once it starts to change in clarity or taste, it should be thrown out.

QuestionCan I add milk to regular iced tea?Community AnswerIt's not recommended; however, Brits often add double the amount of teabags (to make the tea stronger) and put in a small amount of canned condensed milk.

QuestionCan I speed up the chilling process by putting it in the freezer?Community AnswerYes, but use caution. If the tea is still a bit hot, you might defrost and spoil other edibles in the freezer. If the ice tea is in a glass or hard plastic container, it may break when the tea freezes.
-
QuestionHow long will iced tea stay good in the refrigerator?Community AnswerThe safest bet is same-day consumption. However, it will take multiple days until it tastes funny or the appearance changes. Hot brews and brews without sugar or fruit tend to stay good longer.
