Southern Peach Tea

Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large ripe peaches (divided)
  • 6 – 8 regular-size black tea bags
  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 1/2 – 1 cup granulated sugar (or to taste)
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 6 cups cold water
  • pinch baking soda (optional)
  • ice

Instructions

  1. Halve two of the peaches and remove the pits. Slice the peaches into wedges. Place the peach wedges in a single layer on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and place them in the freezer until frozen, at least 4 hours.
  2. Place the tea bags in the boiling water. Cover and steep for 10 minutes. Remove the tea bags and discard them.
  3. Stir the sugar into the hot tea until dissolved. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
  4. Meanwhile, peel the remaining two peaches and remove the pits. Roughly chop the peaches into pieces and place the pieces into a blender or food processor. Add in the lemon juice. Cover and blend until smooth.
  5. Strain the peach mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl. You can gently press against the pulp to help drain any liquid. Discard any pulp or save it for another use.
  6. In a pitcher, combine the strained peach juice, tea, cold water, and baking soda (if using) and mix well.
  7. Refrigerate the tea mixture until cold.
  8. Serve individual glasses with ice and frozen peach wedges, if desired.
