Steps:
- Pour the water into a large glass container with a lid. Stir in honey until dissolved.
- Zest the lemon, being careful not to include any white pith, and juice the lemon. Combine the zest and juice with the honey water mixture.
- Hold a bunch of mint in one hand; use your other hand to twist and squeeze the leaves, slightly bruising them to release their fragrance and oils. Immerse the bunches in the water mixture. Cover the container and place in direct sunlight for two hours. Remove the mint leaves, shake, and serve over ice in tall glasses, garnished with a mint sprig.

Steps:
- *Early in the day*: fill a gallon jar with water, tea bags and honey; cover and place jar out in a sunny spot.
- Remove from outdoors, shake jug to be sure the honey is well-mixed; remove tea-bags (these can go in the compost).
- Place jar in fridge to chill (well, duh!).
- Serve over ice cubes or just chilled.
- VARIATIONS: If you're using unflavored tea bags, you can add a flavor by adding several (or fewer) drops of your favorite flavoring extracts to the finished tea: raspberry, orange, blackberry or a combination.
- MONEY-SAVING HINT: Leave the honey out and let everyone add their own sugar when they're served.
