Ingredients
- 4 cups water
- 3 black tea bags or peach-flavored tea bags
- 2 ripe peaches sliced
- ½ cup fresh raspberries
- ¼ cup honey or simple syrup adjust to taste
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 cup peach nectar or peach juice
- 1 cup sparkling water or club soda
- Ice cubes
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
- Extra peach slices and raspberries for garnish
Instructions
- Brew the Tea: Bring 4 cups of water to a boil, then steep 3 black tea bags (or peach-flavored) for 5-7 minutes. For a bolder fruit flavor, steep a bit longer. Remove the tea bags and let the tea cool completely.
- Blend the Fruit: In a blender, combine 2 sliced peaches and ½ cup fresh raspberries with a splash of water (just enough to blend). Puree until smooth. For a smoother drink, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve, or keep it chunky for added texture.
- Sweeten the Tea: In a large pitcher, combine the cooled tea, fruit puree, 1 cup peach nectar, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and ¼ cup honey or simple syrup. Stir well, adjusting sweetness to taste.
- Add the Fizz: Fill glasses with ice cubes, then pour the peach-raspberry tea mixture, leaving room at the top. Finish each glass with a splash of sparkling water for that bubbly Bellini vibe.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh mint leaves, a peach slice, and a few raspberries for a stunning presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy your peach iced tea!
Notes
- Boost the Flavor: Use peach-flavored tea bags for an extra peachy punch.
- Make It a Cocktail: Add a splash of prosecco, vodka, or rum for an adult-friendly version.
- Frozen Fruit Option: No fresh raspberries? Frozen ones work just as well.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste as you go and add more honey or syrup if needed.
- Keep It Bubbly: Add sparkling water just before serving to preserve the fizz.
