Few drinks are as naturally comforting and refreshing as peach tea. Whether you prefer it warming and smooth or cool and crisp, these simple recipes bring out the best in peach flavor without any unnecessary steps. Just clean, vibrant sips you can enjoy anytime.
Sunrise Peach Infusion
Serves 1
Ingredients
- 1 black tea bag (or green tea for a lighter taste)
- ¾ cup hot water
- 1½ tablespoons peach syrup
- Optional garnish: lemon slice or cinnamon stick
Instructions
Start by boiling water and carefully pouring it over the tea bag in a heat-safe mug. Let the tea steep for 4 to 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to fully develop. If you like a stronger tea, leave it a bit longer, but avoid over-steeping as it can make the tea taste bitter.
Once steeped, remove the tea bag and immediately stir in the peach syrup while the tea is still hot. This helps the syrup dissolve evenly and enhances the aroma. The result should be a golden, lightly sweetened peach tea with a balanced finish. Garnish with a slice of lemon or a cinnamon stick for an optional layer of flavor and a touch of elegance.
Chilled Peach Spark
Serves 1
Ingredients
- 1 black tea bag
- ¾ cup boiling water
- 2 tablespoons peach syrup
- Ice cubes
- ¼ cup cold water or sparkling water
- Optional garnish: fresh peach slices or mint leaves
Instructions
Begin by steeping the tea bag in boiling water for about 5 minutes. This allows the tea to develop a rich base strong enough to shine through once chilled. After removing the tea bag, let the tea cool for a few minutes at room temperature so it doesn’t immediately melt the ice and water down the drink.
Once cooled slightly, stir in the peach syrup until fully combined. The syrup adds a juicy, fruity sweetness to complement the tea’s natural depth.
Fill a tall glass completely with ice. Pour the tea mixture over the ice, then top off with cold water for a smooth drink or sparkling water for a light, fizzy twist. Garnish with fresh peach slices or mint leaves if you want to elevate the look and aroma. This refreshing peach iced tea is perfect for warm afternoons or when you need a quick, revitalizing break.
