Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Fresh peaches
- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 3 bags Green tea bags
- 6 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Honey (optional)
- 2 cups Ice
Instructions
Wash the peaches thoroughly and slice them into thin wedges, discarding the pit. Set aside.
Wash the mint leaves and lightly crush them with your hands to release their natural oils. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, bring 6 cups of water to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Add the sliced peaches to the boiling water. Reduce the heat to low and let them simmer for 3-5 minutes to infuse the water with their flavor.
Turn off the heat and add the green tea bags to the saucepan. Let steep for 5-7 minutes, depending on your preferred strength.
Remove the tea bags and strain out the peach slices. (If you prefer a pulpier tea, leave some of the peach slices in.)
Stir in honey, if desired, while the tea is still warm. This step is optional and can be adjusted to taste.
Transfer the tea to a heat-proof pitcher and add the crushed mint leaves. Allow the tea to cool to room temperature, about 15-20 minutes.
Once cooled, refrigerate the peach mint green tea for at least 1 hour to chill completely.
Before serving, fill glasses with ice and pour the chilled tea over the ice. Garnish with extra mint leaves or a peach wedge if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Peach Mint Green Tea!
