Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups of water
- 4 black tea bags (or your preferred tea)
- 2 ripe peaches, sliced
- ½ cup honey or sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Ice cubes
- Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Start by peeling and slicing the ripe peaches. In a blender, combine the peach slices with a little water and blend until smooth. Set aside this natural peach puree.
- Bring the 4 cups of water to a boil and steep the tea bags for about 5-7 minutes. Remove the tea bags and let the tea cool to room temperature.
- While the tea is still warm, stir in honey or sugar until fully dissolved. Add the peach puree to the tea, stirring well to incorporate the fruity flavor. Mix in the freshly squeezed lemon juice.
- Pour the mixture into a large pitcher and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until thoroughly chilled. Serve over ice cubes and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
Notes
- Use ripe peaches for the sweetest flavor.
- Adjust the sweetness with more honey or sugar based on your preference.
- Reduce sweetener for a less sweet version.
- Try different teas like green or herbal for varied flavors.
- For a sparkling twist, top with soda water before serving.
