Bring 6 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan.
Add the black tea bags to the boiling water. Let them steep for 5-6 minutes until strong. Remove the tea bags and let the tea cool to room temperature.
While the tea cools, slice the ripe peaches and blend them into a puree using a blender or food processor.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the peach puree and honey. Stir for 3-4 minutes until well mixed, then remove from heat and let it cool.
Once the tea is cooled, pour it into a large pitcher. Stir in the peach puree mixture, along with the vodka or bourbon. Add fresh mint leaves and lemon juice, mixing gently.
Refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to infuse.
Before serving, fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the peach and mint iced tea over the ice.
Garnish each glass with a mint sprig and a peach slice for a fresh and elevated presentation.
