Why You'll Love This Recipe

Homemade peach iced tea is a refreshing drink that is great served on ice. 

This drink is one of the best ways to enjoy summer peach flavor.

It’s inexpensive and can be made into a large pitcher to feed a crowd. 

The perfect drink to bring to a summer event or party.

Add your favorite alcohol and turn it into a boozy treat. Try bourbon!

Ingredients & Tools 

  • Water - Used to brew the tea you enjoy. 
  • Tea Bags - You can use any type of tea you enjoy to make peach iced tea. I love using black, rooibos, green tea, matcha, and earl grey to give this tea different types of flavor. 
  • Peach Syrup (peaches, sugar, and water) - This simple syrup is made with just three ingredients to infuse the tea with fresh peach flavor. 
  • Garnish - Add fresh lemon, peach slices, apples, or your favorite herbs to garnish this refreshing peach tea. 

Step By Step Tutorial

Make the peach syrup:

You'll need to stir all ingredients in a pot, bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, until the peaches break down. Then, you just need to strain it all into a bowl and allow to cool completely. Tip: we like to save the strained out peaches and serve them over ice cream!

Brew the tea: In a saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add the tea bags and steep for 4-5 minutes or follow directions on the tea package depending on the type of tea. 

Add the peach syrup: Once the tea is completely cooled, you can add ice to a pitcher and pour in the desired amount of peach syrup. Stir and taste. If you’re serving individual glasses, add ice to each, then add peach syrup and stir in tea. Serve cold with a fruit or herb garnish.

Tips

When serving at a party, serve the peach syrup separately from the iced tea so guests can add peach syrup to suit their own personal tastes. 

It’s very important to make sure the tea is fully cooled before adding the syrup or ice to make sure the flavors are balanced properly. 

When brewing the tea, make sure you don’t steep it past the recommended time or it can become bitter. 

Add a pinch of baking soda to the iced tea for a smoother taste and to combat any bitter flavor from the tea. 

Large family-sized tea bags can also be used to make a large batch of tea. 

Variations

Use frozen peaches as ice cubes to keep the iced tea cool, and to add more fresh peach flavor. 

Steep the tea with fresh basil or mint for an herb-infused tea. 

Blend up frozen peaches with the tea and syrup to make a frozen peach tea refresher.

To turn this refreshing summer drink into a cocktail, add a shot of vodka, gin, or your favorite rum. 

Storage 

Storing: Mixed peach iced tea can be stored in a pitcher in the fridge for 4-5 days. Give it a stir before serving over ice. 

Freezing: Freeze peach iced tea into ice cube molds or popsicle molds for up to 2 months. 

FAQs 

Is peach iced tea good for you?

Commercially prepared and sweetened peach tea may contain lots of chemicals, but making it from scratch in this recipe can be healthier for you. 

Can I use white peaches to make peach iced tea? 

Absolutely! Just make sure when you make the syrup that you adjust the sugar content as white peaches tend to be less sweet. 

What can you do with peach syrup?

If you have leftover peach syrup, you can drizzle it over ice cream, waffles, oatmeal, or any baked dessert you enjoy to give it a sweet peach flavor.
