Ingredients
Tea
- 5 green tea tea bags
- 5 c. water divided
- 2 peach peeled, or 3 medium peaches peeled, large
Simple Syrup
- 1/2 c. water
- 1/2 c. honey
Instructions
Simple Syrup
- Add water and honey to a small saucepan and heat over med-low heat, stirring constantly. Pull off the heat once the honey has dissolved and allow to cool.
Green Tea
- Heat 3 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, take off the heat and add the tea bags to the water. Allow to steep for at least 1 hour.
Iced Tea
- Once the tea has steeped, puree the peaches and 1 cup of water together.
- Strain the peach puree mixture through a fine mesh strainer in order to remove any extra pulp.
- In a large pitcher, combine simple syrup, tea peach puree, and remaining 1 cup of water. Stir until combined.
- Add in sliced peaches, lemon wedges, and/or mint, if desired.
- Chill in the fridge for 3-4 hours, or serve with ice.
Notes
- Use the sweetest, fresh peaches you can find so you have a ton of flavor. Essentially, that sweeter the peach, the more flavorful the tea.
- A quick trick to make peaches easier to peel is to blanch them. Simply bring a large pot of water to a boil. Score the bottom of each peach with an X, then place in boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Make sure each peach is completely covered in water, if your pot is smaller do this in batches. After the time is up, remove from water with a slotted spoon and immediately rinse with cold water or place them in a cold water bath. Then peel with a paring knife once they are cool to the touch.
- In a pinch you could also use frozen or canned peaches, just make sure they aren’t already sweetened. If they are adjust your simply syrup to reflect that.
- You can substitute maple syrup for the honey if you prefer that in your simple syrup.
- Make sure you steep the green tea for at least a hour. Green tea can be a little more subtle in flavor, so it does need to steep for a significant amount of time.
