What makes it extra special is the mix of bold black teas with the juicy sweetness of fresh peaches. The result? A perfectly balanced drink that’s perfect for a hot summer day. Bonus: it’s can easily made sugar-free or decaf.

Ingredients You’ll Need:

  • Water
  • Ripe peaches
  • Tea bags (black tea works well, but feel free to use green or herbal)
  • Sugar (or any sweetener of your choice)
  • Fresh mint leaves
  • Ice cubes

Tips for the Best Peach Iced Tea

  • Use ripe, fragrant peaches for the fullest flavor and natural sweetness. The riper the peaches, the more flavourful will be the drink.
  • Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more or less sugar, honey, or another sweetener.
  • Experiment with different types of tea like green tea, white tea, or herbal blends for unique twists.
  • To intensify the peach flavor, add a few peach slices or a splash of peach juice when serving.
  • Fresh mint leaves can be added at the end for a refreshing touch or steeped in the tea for stronger mint aroma.

Storage

Store your peach iced tea in a covered pitcher or airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep well for up to 3 days. Avoid leaving the tea out at room temperature for long to keep it fresh and flavorful. If you’ve added mint, you may want to strain it out after a day to keep the flavor fresh and prevent bitterness.

Variations

  • Sugar-free: Replace the sugar with another sugar substitute like stevia or monk fruit or omit it.
  • Herbal: Try using rooibos, chamomile, or hibiscus tea for a caffeine-free option.
  • Peach + another fruit: Add raspberries, lemon slices, or even strawberries for extra fruity flavor.
  • Spiced: Add a cinnamon stick or a slice of fresh ginger to the peach syrup for a warming twist.
