Refreshing Iced Peach Tea: Homemade Recipe 

What you will need for this Peach Green Tea:

Green Tea Bags. You can find green tea bags and most grocery stores. Look in the tea aisle, to find the different options available. You don’t have to buy a fancy brand, just make sure to get some good green tea bags for this recipe.

Cold Water. You will want to brew the green tea bags in a few cups of water. No matter if you choose to cold brew the tea, or if you’re hot brewing it on the stovetop, using cold water will allow your water to heat easily. 

Fresh Peaches. Using real peaches to give your peach green tea that peach flavor is your best option. The real fruit, is juicy and sweet, giving you the best overall flavor. However, if you do not have access to fresh peaches, another good alternative is to use a can of peach nectar.

Simple Syrup. Using simple syrup to sweeten your peach green tea is it going to be the easiest sweetener option. Simple syrup is made by boiling together water and your desired amount of sugar to make a liquid sweetener. Another type of sweetener option is to use natural sweeteners such as maple syrup or honey.

How to Make Peach Green Tea

To make peach green tea, you’re going to start off with making the green tea concentrate. That way your green tea will have a chance to cool, well you are preparing the other portions of the tea recipe.

Green Tea Concentrate

Add the cold water into a medium-sized saucepan. Allow the water to heat so that it turns into hot water, then add your teabags. Boil the water for 2-3 minutes with the teabags, to allow the green tea to brew.

After your green tea has brewed, remove the hot tea from the burner and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Once cooled, remove the tea bags and discard them.

Then pour the green tea concentrate into an airtight container, or you can see it in a mason jar with a lid. Let cool for a few minutes at room temperature, then place into the fridge to chill the green tea mixture.

Making the Peach Syrup

To make the homemade peach flavoring, you will want to take your ripe peaches and cut them into pieces. Discard the peach pit, then add the peach slices into a blender or food processor. 

Blend the peaches on a high speed until the peach puree is completely liquid. If there are any chunks remaining, you might consider straining the peach purée through a mesh strainer to remove any chunks. Then pour the peach juice into your green tea concentrate. 

Sweeten with the Simple Syrup

Prepare your simple syrup by boiling together water and sugar. Let the mixture cool, then add your desired touch of simple syrup to the peach green tea to sweeten it. 

To serve your peach green tea, pour the cooled prepared peach green tea into your serving glasses. Add ice cubes, then stir the mixture together before serving. Serve and enjoy your delicious homemade peach green tea!

Tips and Tricks 

Cold Brew Tea. If you have enough time, you can also prepare your green tea by cold brewing it overnight. To do this you will simply add your cold water into a container such as a mason jar, add the teabags, secure the lid, and place into the refrigerator overnight. The next day you can add your peach and simple syrup to the mixture before serving.

Storing in a Large Mason Jar. It’s my preference to make a big batch of peach green tea and store it in the fridge so that I can enjoy it for a while.

I like to use a large mason jar with a lid to store my peach green tea until I am ready to enjoy it. This works really well to use a large mason jar, rather than a picture or another type of container.
