Ingredients

Scale

Tea Base

  • 4 cups filtered water
  • 34 black or green tea bags

Peach Puree

  • 23 ripe fresh peaches, peeled and pitted

Sweeteners & Flavor

  • 23 tablespoons raw honey (adjust to taste)
  • 12 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

To Serve

  • Ice cubes (as needed)
  • Optional garnishes: fresh peach slices, mint sprigs, lemon wheels

Instructions

  1. Brew the Tea: Start by boiling filtered water and steep the tea bags for 4 to 5 minutes to create a full-bodied tea. Remove the tea bags and let the tea cool slightly.
  2. Prepare the Peach Puree: Peel and pit the fresh peaches, then blend them until smooth to make the peach puree, which adds vibrant fruitiness and color to the drink.
  3. Mix Honey and Lemon: While the tea is still warm, stir in the raw honey until completely dissolved to ensure even sweetness, then add fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavor.
  4. Combine and Chill: Pour the peach puree into a pitcher and mix it with the sweetened tea. Stir well, then refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, or serve immediately over plenty of ice.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Pour the chilled Peach Honey Iced Tea into glasses, add your preferred garnishes, and enjoy a refreshing summer drink.

Notes

  • Use ripe, fragrant peaches and pure raw honey for optimal natural sweetness.
  • Do not oversteep the tea to avoid bitterness—limit steep time to 4-5 minutes.
  • Add honey gradually to balance sweetness without overpowering the peach flavor.
  • Chill the tea for at least one hour before serving for maximum refreshment.
  • Freeze filtered water to make clear ice cubes that maintain flavor without quick dilution.
