Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
black tea bags
water
fresh peaches, sliced
lemon juice
honey or sugar
ice cubes
mint leaves (optional)

Directions

I start by brewing the tea in hot water and letting it steep until strong, then I remove the tea bags and let it cool.

In a saucepan, I cook the sliced peaches with a bit of water and honey or sugar until soft, then mash and strain to make a peach syrup. I let it cool.

I mix the cooled tea with lemon juice and the peach syrup, stirring well to combine.

I fill glasses with ice and pour the mixture over. I sometimes garnish with mint leaves for extra freshness.

Servings and timing

I usually get about 3 to 4 servings from this recipe.
Preparation takes around 15 minutes, plus cooling time.

Variations

I sometimes use green tea instead of black tea for a lighter taste. I also like adding sparkling water for a fizzy version. Another variation I enjoy is blending the peaches instead of straining them for a thicker texture. Iced Peach Tea Lemonade

storage/reheating

I store the tea mixture in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

I serve it chilled over ice and stir before pouring, as separation may occur. I don’t reheat this drink.
