Summary

Jr Walker Ranch Sun Tea Cradle

I often buy this great green Tea from Trader Joes that comes in a nice one gallon plastic jug. Once the tea is gone, it's kind of a shame to discard the jug, so started making my own sun tea with the empties.

I use 6 bags of tea and invert the jug so the big fat base faces the sun for the maximum exposure.

This simple clip works perfectly as a cradle for the jug and you can use the clip to hold the tea bags in place while you fill the jug.

Inverting the bottle also causes most tea bags to float upward, putting them in the center of the jug for better brewing power. (at least that's my theory)

So - here's recycling that works, enjoy!

The cradle is printed in two parts that snap together. Why? so it can be printed flat without the need for supports.
