A fruit-forward homemade iced tea is essential for me during the warm months. I’m always playing around with different teas and fruits. This iced peach green tea mixture remains a favorite. Agave nectar sweetens the tea and fruit just enough. Fresh lemon juice perks up all the flavor.

I love to serve this iced peach green tea in clear glasses with loads of ice, lemon slices, fresh mint, and a peach slice too. Nothing could be more refreshing on a hot day!

I prefer the overnight brewing method for iced tea. You simply add tea bags/loose tea to water in a jar, cover, and let it slowly brew overnight in the fridge. This results in a clear (not cloudy!) tea with limited bitterness. It’s also just easier than shaking hot tea up with the right proportion of ice!

Hope you love this gorgeously fruity homemade iced tea! Once you get the hang of the technique, the possibilities are endless.

Iced Peach Green Tea

Iced peach green tea is refreshing, fruity, flavourful, and naturally sweetened. No weird syrups or added flavours–just fruit and tea!

Prep Time: 10 minutes mins

Cold Brew Time: 8 hours hrs

Total Time: 8 hours hrs 10 minutes mins

Servings 1 Litre

Ingredients

• 2 green tea bags
• 1 litre cold water
• 2 very ripe peaches peeled and chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon agave nectar

Equipment

• Blender

Notes

• The tea will get super frothy after you blend it with the peaches, but don’t panic. I just skim off a bit of the top layer of foam and let the rest settle after straining.
• I’ve used plain green tea and a few flavoured green teas as well (mint, a tropical mix one) in this and all were great.
• I brew my green tea overnight to tame the bitterness and to keep the tea as clear as possible.

Instructions

• In a sealable jar, combine the tea bags and water. Close the lid of the jar and set in the fridge to brew overnight.
• The next day: remove the tea bags from the jar. Pour the iced green tea into an upright blender. Add the chopped peaches, lemon juice, and agave nectar. Blend this mixture on high until peaches are liquified, about 45 seconds.
• Set a fine mesh strainer over a wide mouth pitcher or bowl. Pour half of the iced peach green tea through the strainer. Using a spoon, scrape any pulp away to keep the tea flowing through the strainer. Once done, repeat with the remaining half of the tea mixture.
• Serve the peach green tea over lots of ice with an extra squeeze of lemon if you like. This tea keeps in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 3 days. Shake before serving.
