Peach Iced Tea
Ingredients
- 4 black tea bags
- 4 cups boiling water
- 1 cup peach nectar or peach puree
- 1/4 cup honey or granulated sugar
- 2 cups cold water
- Ice
- Fresh peach slices for garnish
Instructions
- Steep the tea bags in the boiling water for 5 minutes, until the water turns deep amber.
- Remove the tea bags, squeezing gently, and stir in the honey while the tea is still hot so it dissolves completely.
- Stir in the peach nectar until fully combined.
- Add 2 cups cold water to bring the tea down toward room temperature faster.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, until fully chilled.
- Fill glasses with ice and pour the tea over, leaving a little room at the top for garnish.
- Garnish each glass with a fresh peach slice and serve.
Good to Know
Brew a separate small batch with decaffeinated tea bags if the guest of honor is limiting caffeine, and mark the pitcher so nobody mixes them up.
