Ingredients for Healthy Fresh Peach Iced Tea

Fresh Ripe Peaches. 

Listen, y’all, nothing prepared me for the taste and flavors of fresh ripe peaches! OMG, my entire house smelled so good when the fresh peaches started to simmer. I have never tried making this recipe with canned peaches. I generally make it during spring/summer when fresh peaches are abundant. On the other hand, peaches are heart-healthy, great for the skin, and can healthily boost immunity! 

Monk Fruit Sweetener.

I like making fresh peach iced tea with monk fruit sweetener instead of sugar because it is clearly healthier and doesn’t have all the adverse effects of sugar. Not only is sugar packed with excessive calories it is also anti-nutrient and not good for us. I wanted my family to enjoy this iced tea without restrictions, so I chose this healthy option. 

Black Tea.

I used the Lipton brand; you can use any tea of your choice. I prefer the good old black tea bags, the same I used for my iced sweet tea recipe. You can use decaffeinated tea, green or herbal tea. However, I don’t know if you will have the same result. 

Water.

The main ingredient in peach iced tea is water. You will need water to steep the tea and make the peach syrup. Ensure to use clean water.

Fresh mint leaves for garnishing (optional).

Mint is optional. Aside from garnishing your fresh peach iced tea, fresh mint adds flavor to your drink.

How to Store Leftover Fresh Peach Iced Tea

As thirsty as we can get, especially in summer, we often have leftovers of fresh peach iced tea. Also, I tend to make extra just for this reason. You can store it in a sealed pitcher or airtight container in your fridge but be sure to use it up within a week. You can also freeze it. The best way is by putting it into ice cube trays. Once the tea freezes, you can pop the cubes into a freezer bag for easier storage, but use it within 6 months.

Recipe Notes/Tips

  • Use ripe peaches for tastier tea. It won’t be the same with frozen or canned.
  • Be mindful not to overboil the syrup.
  • Taste it before chilling and feel free to sweeten it up to your taste.
  • And of course, be patient and let this cool first before serving. It’s worth the wait!
