Wash and slice the peaches into thin wedges, discarding the pits.
In a large pot, bring the 8 cups of water to a gentle boil.
Add the sliced peaches to the boiling water and simmer for 5 minutes to allow the peach flavor to infuse into the water.
Turn off the heat and add the black tea bags to the pot. Let steep for 5 minutes.
Remove the tea bags and strain the peach slices from the tea using a fine mesh strainer. Set the tea aside to cool slightly.
Stir in the honey and lemon juice while the tea is warm, mixing until fully dissolved.
Fill a large pitcher with the ice and pour the peach tea over it. Stir gently to combine.
Serve the Peach Tree Tea in glasses over additional ice, garnished with a peach slice and fresh mint leaves, if desired.
