Ingredients
- 2 whole Fresh peaches
- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 3 bags Green tea bags
- 6 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Honey (optional)
- 2 cups Ice
Directions
Step 1
Wash the peaches thoroughly and slice them into thin wedges, discarding the pit. Set aside.
Step 2
Wash the mint leaves and lightly crush them with your hands to release their natural oils. Set aside.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan, bring 6 cups of water to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the sliced peaches to the boiling water. Reduce the heat to low and let them simmer for 3-5 minutes to infuse the water with their flavor.
Step 5
Turn off the heat and add the green tea bags to the saucepan. Let steep for 5-7 minutes, depending on your preferred strength.
Step 6
Remove the tea bags and strain out the peach slices. (If you prefer a pulpier tea, leave some of the peach slices in.)
Step 7
Stir in honey, if desired, while the tea is still warm. This step is optional and can be adjusted to taste.
Step 8
Transfer the tea to a heat-proof pitcher and add the crushed mint leaves. Allow the tea to cool to room temperature, about 15-20 minutes.
Step 9
Once cooled, refrigerate the peach mint green tea for at least 1 hour to chill completely.
Step 10
Before serving, fill glasses with ice and pour the chilled tea over the ice. Garnish with extra mint leaves or a peach wedge if desired.
Step 11
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Peach Mint Green Tea!
