Peach Iced Tea

Real peach and real tea, not syrup from a bottle. Makes a jug that disappears fast.

Prep

Difficulty
Easy

Ingredients

  • 6 cups strong brewed black tea, cooled
  • 3 ripe peaches, sliced
  • 0.5 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 0.33 cup honey or simple syrup
  • Mint and peach slices, to garnish

Method

  1. 1Muddle two of the peaches with the honey in the bottom of a large pitcher.
  2. 2Add the cooled tea and lemon juice and stir well.
  3. 3Add the remaining sliced peach and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
  4. 4Serve over ice with mint and a peach slice.

Notes

  • Cold-brew the tea overnight for a smoother, less bitter base with no effort.
  • Ripe peaches only — underripe ones give you colour but no flavour.
  • Frozen peach slices work out of season and chill the jug as they thaw.

Make one of these next

  • Southern Sweet Tea

    The method matters more than the recipe — sweeten it hot, cool it fast, and never boil the leaves.

  • Horchata

    Rice, cinnamon and milk, blended and strained. Sweet, cooling, and the best thing to drink with spicy food.

  • Mocktail Sangria

    A pitcher that improves as it sits. The best thing to put on the table when you're hosting.
