Ingredients:

• 4 cups water
• 4 green tea bags
• 2 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced
• 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4-6 lemons)
• 1/2 cup honey or agave syrup (adjust to taste)
• Ice cubes
• Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
• Peach slices for garnish (optional)

Preparing the Tea

First things first, let’s brew our green tea. This is a crucial step because the flavor of the tea will be the base of our refreshing drink.

1. In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
2. Once the water is boiling, remove it from the heat and add the 4 green tea bags. Make sure they are fully submerged.
3. Let the tea steep for about 5-7 minutes. The longer you steep, the stronger the flavor will be, but be careful not to overdo it, as green tea can become bitter.
4. After steeping, remove the tea bags and let the tea cool to room temperature. You can speed up this process by placing the tea in the refrigerator.

Preparing the Peach Puree

While the tea is cooling, let’s prepare the peach puree. This will add a delicious fruity flavor to our lemonade.

1. Take your ripe peaches and slice them into smaller pieces. This will make it easier to blend.
2. Place the sliced peaches in a blender. If you want a smoother texture, you can peel the peaches, but I like to keep the skin on for added nutrients.
3. Blend the peaches until you achieve a smooth puree. If your peaches are not very juicy, you can add a splash of water to help with blending.
4. Once blended, taste the puree. If you find it a bit tart, you can add a tablespoon of honey or agave syrup to sweeten it up. Blend again to combine.

Making the Lemonade

Now that we have our tea and peach puree ready, it’s time to combine everything into a refreshing lemonade.

1. In a large pitcher, combine the cooled green tea and the fresh lemon juice. Make sure to strain the lemon juice to remove any seeds or pulp if you prefer a smoother drink.
2. Add the peach puree to the pitcher. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
3. Next, add the honey or agave syrup to the mixture. Start with 1/2 cup and adjust according to your taste preference. Stir until the sweetener is fully dissolved.
4. At this point, you can taste the mixture. If it’s too strong, feel free to add more water to dilute it to your liking.

Chilling and Serving

Now that our iced peach green tea lemonade is mixed, it’s time to chill and serve!

1. Cover the pitcher and place it in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours to chill. This will allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
2. When you’re ready to serve, fill a glass with ice cubes. Pour the chilled peach green tea lemonade over the ice.
3. If you want to make it extra special, garnish with fresh mint leaves and a slice of peach on the rim of the glass.
4. Enjoy your refreshing iced peach green tea lemonade on a hot day or whenever you need a delicious pick-me-up!

Tips and Variations

Here are some tips and variations to make your iced peach green tea lemonade even more delightful:

• Herbal Infusion: You can infuse the green tea with other herbs like basil or rosemary for a unique flavor twist.
• Fruit Variations: Try using other fruits like strawberries, raspberries, or even mangoes for a different fruity flavor.
• Sweetener Alternatives: If you prefer a sugar-free option, consider using stevia or monk fruit sweetener.
• Sparkling Version

Conclusion:

In summary, this Iced Peach Green Tea Lemonade is an absolute must-try for anyone looking to refresh their palate and elevate their beverage game. The delightful combination of sweet peaches, invigorating green tea, and zesty lemonade creates a symphony of flavors that is perfect for any occasion, whether you’re lounging by the pool, hosting a summer barbecue, or simply enjoying a quiet afternoon at home.
