How to Make Sweet Peach Tea
Step 1: In a saucepan combine peaches, 2 cups of water and sugar over medium heat. Allow the peaches to simmer for about 15 minutes.
Using a heavy duty blender or food processor, pulse for 15-30 seconds until mixture becomes smooth.
Strain the peach mixture through a small strainer, extracting only the syrup. Boil the remaining 3 cups of water.
Step 2: Boil the remaining 3 cups of water. After water is boiling, steep 3 bags of tea in the boiling water for 15 minutes. Pour tea mixture, lemon juice and peach mixture into a pitcher. Taste for sweetness. If you need more sugar, start with ¼ cup of granulated sugar until you reach desired sweetness.

Notes
- Cool It: First things first, let your batch of Peach Sweet Tea chill out. Make sure it reaches room temperature after you’ve brewed and mixed it all up.
- Pitcher Perfect: Pour that cooled sweet tea into a clean, airtight pitcher or glass bottle. Plastic works, but glass is really the bee’s knees for keeping your tea tasting fresh.
- Fridge Friends: Pop that pitcher in the fridge! Cold storage is key for keeping your Peach Sweet Tea fresh and fabulous. Plus, who wants warm sweet tea? Not us, y’all!
- Time Check: Your Peach Sweet Tea will keep well in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. Past that, and you might lose some of that fresh peach punch and sweetness.
- Serve Chilled: When you’re ready to enjoy it again, just give it a good stir or shake, pour it over some ice, and garnish with a peach slice or mint leaf if you’re feeling fancy.
- No Freezing Zone: Avoid freezing your sweet tea, folks! It can mess with the flavors and let’s be real, thawing tea is just not our jam.

Can you use frozen peaches? our peaches are brick hard and not very sweet.
Thanks
Absolutely!
