Default OT sun tea vs regular tea health benefits

I like to drink green tea iced tea. I have been making it using hot water
and as a sun tea. I'm wondering if either method is more beneficial health
wise? More or less caffeine, polyphenols etc.

I realise that the health benefits may be less than advertised but I like
the stuff regardless. I figure if I'm going to drink it I might as well get
the greatest possible benefit from whichever brewing method is best.

I do notice that the hot brewing method produces a stronger slightly bitter
brew.

Anyone?

Sid...

I could be wrong but it doesn't seem there is a health benefit to sun tea
over
regularly brewed tea. I haven't been able to find reliable proof anyway.

Sun tea is pushed as environmentally better because it uses solar power
rather
than burning fossil fuels.

I was wondering if it takes heat to extract the most caffeine, polyphenols
or whatever else is good about green tea or do you in fact get more from a
cold brew?

Don't really know, I would think the extraction process would be pretty much
the same regardless of the heat, within reason. I have found no authoritive
source for such information

The best I have found is a study by Colorado State University about the
increased chance of bacterial contamination when brewing sun tea.

Thanks,

Maybe I'll follow their suggestion and brew it overnight in the
refridgerator and see how it tastes.
