A refreshing and easy-to-make peach iced tea that balances sweetness, fruitiness, and tea bitterness, perfect for summer gatherings or a cool afternoon pick-me-up.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 4 black tea bags (Assam or Darjeeling recommended)
  • 4 cups (1 liter) water
  • ¼ to ½ cup (50–100 grams) granulated sugar, adjust to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • Ice cubes as needed
  • Optional: A handful of fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Bring 4 cups (1 liter) of water to a rolling boil in a kettle or saucepan (about 5 minutes).
  2. Place 4 black tea bags into a large heatproof pitcher and pour the boiling water over them. Steep for 5-7 minutes depending on desired strength. Remove tea bags, squeezing gently.
  3. While the tea is still warm, stir in ¼ to ½ cup granulated sugar until fully dissolved (about 2 minutes).
  4. Peel and slice 3 large peaches. Puree the slices in a blender until smooth or pulse for some texture.
  5. Pour the peach puree into the sweetened tea and stir thoroughly. Optionally strain through a fine mesh sieve for a smoother drink.
  6. Stir in 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice.
  7. Refrigerate the pitcher for at least 1 hour to chill and meld flavors, or add ice cubes directly if in a hurry.
  8. Serve over ice cubes, garnished with fresh mint leaves or a thin peach slice if desired.

Notes

Use ripe, juicy peaches for best flavor. Adjust sugar to taste. Steep tea 5-7 minutes to avoid bitterness. Puree peaches for smooth texture or pulse for some chunks. Serve over fresh ice to prevent dilution. Frozen peaches can be used if fresh are unavailable. Variations include using green or herbal tea, adding berries, or spices like cinnamon.
