Iced Peach Green Tea Lemonade (Starbucks Copycat)
Description
The beverage is prepared by steeping green tea briefly, then chilling it before combining with equal parts peach juice and lemonade poured over ice. This mix achieves a lightly sweet, tangy, and herbal drink with cooling, fruity notes. Fresh ingredients such as lime or lemon can substitute or augment the lemonade component.
The peach juice adds a natural sweetness and aroma that complements the mint and citrus hints in the tea. Garnishing with mint sprigs, lemon slices, and peach slices adds visual appeal and a hint of extra freshness.
This drink can be prepared in larger pitchers for gatherings or served individually. Shaking ingredients in a jar produces a frothier texture. Adjusting the steep time of the tea or the quantity of peach juice tailors the intensity to preference.
Ingredients
- 4-8 ounces tea brewed and cooled (or your favorite green tea, jade citrus mint flavor
- 4 ounces peach juice peach juice (try and find 100% juice)
- 4 ounces lemonade I like Simply Lemonade (or Simply Lite), try limeade too
- 1 cup ice cubes best made with filtered water
Instructions
- Pour just boiled water over the tea bag(s) and allow to steep 2-3 minutes, no longer than 4 minutes. Remove tea bags, then place in fridge to cool.
- In a 16-20 ounce glass, fill with ice cubes, then pour over the ice ½-1 cup of Jade citrus mint tea. Add lemonade and top with peach nectar, stir and adjust as necessary.
- Garnish with a sprig of mint, slice of lemon and slice of peach.
Notes
- For larger servings, brew 32-48 ounces of Jade Citrus Mint Tea using 8-10 tea bags and chill before mixing.
- If peach juice is unavailable, fresh peeled peaches can be muddled as a substitute.
- Use any desired green tea but avoid over-steeping to prevent bitterness.
- In place of lemonade, fresh lemon juice mixed with sugar or maple syrup can be used.
- For a frothier texture, shake the ingredients vigorously in a covered mason jar or cocktail shaker before serving.
- To make a stronger tea flavor, use two tea bags during brewing instead of one.
