Why it worked

The video taps into nostalgia and a sense of simple, traditional living, which resonates with viewers who may have fond memories of making sun tea themselves or appreciate the slower pace of life it represents. The visual of the sun tea brewing in a rustic setting adds to the appeal.

Summary

The video shows the process of making sun tea, starting with filling a large glass dispenser with water and tea bags, then placing it in the sun to steep. Later, sugar is added, and the tea is poured into a glass with ice.

Somewhere along the way, we stopped making sun tea.

Original caption

We realized around 6 PM that we didn’t have any sweet tea made, so naturally I decided that was the perfect time to make sun tea. 😂 I grabbed the jar and went looking for the last good patch of sunlight in the driveway. Thankfully, late summer in Southeast Texas gave me just enough daylight to pull it off. Somewhere along the way, we really did stop making sun tea. Maybe it’s time we bring it back. ☀️ #SunTea #SouthernLiving #Nostalgia #CountryLiving #VintageKitchen
