Meghan's Sweet Peach Tea

A refreshing summer iced tea combining peach and mint teas with fresh peaches, honey and a squeeze of lime. The fresh fruit adds even more peach flavor as the tea chills.

Meghan’s Sweet Peach Tea

Yield: About 2½ quarts
Prep Time: About 15 minutes, plus chilling time

Ingredients:

  • 8 peach tea bags
  • 4 mint tea bags
  • 2 cups hot water
  • 6–8 cups cold water
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 peaches, peeled and coarsely chopped
  • Juice of ½ lime
  • Ice, for serving

Instructions:

  1. Place the peach and mint tea bags in a heatproof container and pour 2 cups hot water over them.
  2. Allow the tea bags to steep until the tea is well flavored, then remove and discard the bags.
  3. While the tea is still warm, stir in the sugar and honey until completely dissolved.
  4. Pour the tea into a large pitcher and add 6–8 cups cold water, depending on the desired strength.
  5. Add the chopped peaches and squeeze in the juice of ½ lime.
  6. Stir well and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
  7. Serve over plenty of ice, adding some of the fresh peaches to each glass if desired.

Tip: For stronger fresh-peach flavor, lightly crush a few of the peach pieces with the back of a spoon before refrigerating the tea.
