sun tea

So, I finally made some sun tea with mint and melissa from my herb patch and it is mild and delicious. Basically I picked a big bunch of herbs and placed them in a covered jug of water - about 2 pints. I left it in the sun all day (well, 'til now) and just had a glass. I am leaving the rest for later - hopefully it'll be stronger. The chickens have escaped again and are roaming around. They have earthed up some of the veggie beds but as it's hot and their work is already well under way I have just let them get on with it - lazy? moi?
