A refreshing and easy drink for summer: the Homemade Peach Iced Tea ! Without any bitterness thanks to a cold infusion, we love the sweet peach flavor of this homemade "ice tea". Serve with or without sugar, it's up to you!
A few details about this iced tea recipe
- flavors : it is a very light iced tea (without bitterness). We can therefore feel the subtle notes of green tea and the yellow peach flavor. It is very refreshing served in a large glass with ice cubes.
- Difficulty level : super easy to prepare! A few minutes are enough and no special equipment.
4 ingredients to plan for this homemade iced tea
- water : water at room temperature (especially not hot water, to avoid bitterness).
- tea : I only take green tea to make iced tea (in bags or loose). It is light and slightly bitter in cold infusion. You can also take white tea.
- peaches : I use yellow peaches, quite ripe but not too much.
- sweetening : it is not necessarily necessary to use sugar in this recipe. Personally I do without it. If you want to add sugar, you can do so with cane syrup or agave syrup, which are very suitable for drinks.
NB: the recipe with the detailed quantities is available at the bottom of the page.
How to make homemade iced tea?
- In a large container, add the tea so that it infuses cold.
- Remove the tea once it has infused.
- Cut the peaches and add them to the mixture.
- We refrigerate everything.
- Serve in tall glasses with ice cubes and a little sugar if needed. If you have any peaches left, you can enjoy them!

Homemade Peach Iced Tea
A light and refreshing drink to prepare all summer long! Without bitterness thanks to the cold infusion, this homemade iced tea is little (or not sweet) to suit all tastes.
Ingredients
- 1 liter water at room temperature
- 5 green tea bags or white tea
- 3 yellow peaches rather ripe
- Cane syrup or agave syrup (optional, according to your tastes)
- Ice cubes
- Mint leaves optional
Prepare in advance
- Pour water at room temperature into a large container. Add the green tea bags and let steep at room temperature for about 45 minutes.
- Remove the sachets then place the container in the refrigerator while you do the rest.
- Wash and cut each peach into 8 slices (keeping the skin on). Add them to the tea container. Put back in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
- To serve, start by putting ice cubes in each glass. To sweeten the tea, add cane syrup or agave syrup at this time. (It's optional, I prefer without).
- Then add the iced tea with a few pieces of peach. Finish with a sprig of mint for freshness. If you have peaches left, enjoy them!
A must to refresh and quench your thirst.
