Peach Fizz Iced Tea with Mint Recipe
What You’ll Need:
- 4 ripe peaches, sliced (plus extra for garnish)
- 4 black tea bags
- 1/4 cup honey (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup fresh mint leaves, plus extra for garnish
- 4 cups boiling water
- 2 cups cold sparkling water
- Ice cubes
Let’s Get Fizzy!
- Brew the tea: In a large heatproof pitcher, combine the tea bags, honey, and 1/2 cup of mint leaves. Pour in the boiling water and let it steep for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags and mint leaves, then let the tea cool to room temperature.
- Peach perfection: In a blender, puree 3 of the sliced peaches until smooth. Strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any pulp.
- Mix it up: Once the tea has cooled, stir in the peach puree. Taste and add more honey if needed. Refrigerate until chilled.
- Time to serve: Fill tall glasses with ice cubes and slices from the remaining peach. Pour the chilled tea mixture over the ice, filling the glasses about 3/4 full.
- Add some sparkle: Top each glass with sparkling water for that delightful fizz.
- Garnish and enjoy: Add a sprig of fresh mint and a peach slice to each glass. Give it a gentle stir and prepare for pure bliss!
This Peach Fizz Iced Tea isn’t just a drink – it’s a summer experience in a glass. So kick back, relax, and let each sip remind you of sun-kissed orchards and lazy afternoon picnics. Cheers to creating your own peachy paradise!
