So, you know what that means. Everything possible will be prepared outside on the grill, and everyone is going to drink either sun tea or water - and love it.   But, times have changed, and it has been discovered that there can be bacteria in sun tea, in particular a type of bacteria called alcaligenes viscolactis. It seems that this bacterium is in the water. When the jar of sun tea sits in the sun for a couple of hours, the bacteria can grow. The heat of the sun may be enough to brew, but it is not hot enough to kill bacteria.]]></description>
