And a bag of sugar:

I suggest looking in the thrift stores for you tea pitcher or a dollar store where they are cheaper.

Huge savings versus buying premade.  I see a lot of people buy the green tea by Arizona or other commercial brands, Lipton sells green tea bags, same thing except you control the sugar content and the cost.

Oh and as to how to make it:

Just put 4 or 5 tea bags in the sun tea pitcher, add water to fill and set it out in the sun.  In the winter, boil water, add the tea bags in the sun pitcher and it's ready to go after it's cooled put in the fridge.  Yes, it takes a few minutes of your time to do this but the savings is huge plus much more gentle on our environment when you consider the containers you buy the tea in, recycling cost and manufacturing cost where it all started out.
