Ingredients
  

4 cups water

4 green tea bags

2 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced

1/4 cup honey (or agave syrup, adjusted to taste)

Juice of 1 lemon

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Ice cubes

Instructions
 

Boil Water: In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.

    Brew Tea: Once the water is boiling, carefully remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the green tea bags and let them steep for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your desired tea strength—longer steeping yields a stronger flavor.

      Prepare Peaches: While the tea is steeping, place the sliced peaches into a blender. Blend until smooth to create a vibrant peach puree. If you like, set aside a few peach slices for garnishing.

        Sweeten the Tea: Once the tea has finished steeping, remove and discard the tea bags. Stir in the honey (or agave syrup) until it is completely dissolved, then mix in the freshly squeezed lemon juice for brightness.

          Combine Ingredients: In a large pitcher, combine the brewed green tea with the peach puree. Stir well to blend the flavors completely.

            Chill the Mixture: Cover the pitcher and refrigerate the mixture for at least 1-2 hours, or until it is thoroughly chilled, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.

              Serve: When ready to serve, fill glasses with ice cubes. Pour the chilled peach iced green tea over the ice and garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves and the reserved peach slices for an added touch of elegance.

                Enjoy: Sip and relish the refreshing, fruity flavor that’s perfect for a summer day!
