The following rules have been recommended for those who brew sun tea: Use a container that has been scrubbed in warm, soapy water. As an additional precaution, dip the container in a bleach solution made with 1-1/2 teaspoons to 1 tablespoon of bleach per gallon of water. If the container has a spigot, clean it carefully after each use, preferably by taking it apart. If you cant clean inside the spigot, dont brew sun tea in that vessel — find yourself something else to use. Do not leave tea to brew in the sunlight for more than three to four hours. Do not prepare more tea than you plan to use that day. Refrigerate the drink as soon as it is ready and keep it refrigerated. Discard tea if it appears thick or syrupy. Those ropy strands are bacteria. A safer alternative to sun tea is refrigerator tea. To make it, fill a pitcher with a quart of cold water, add four to six tea bags, and refrigerate it at least six hours or overnight. Squeeze and remove the tea bags, and serve the tea over ice.
