Peach and Ginger Iced Tea
A refreshing taste and subtle warmth from the ginger will surely make your day more delightful and refreshing.
Equipment
- 1 Saucepan or pot
Ingredients
- 2 Ripe Peaches pitted and sliced
- 1 inch Ginger root peeled and sliced
- 2 cups Water
- 2 Black tea bags
- Ice cubes
- Fresh mint Leaves for garnish
- honey or sweetener of your choice
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine the sliced peaches, ginger, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
- Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse. Stir occasionally and gently mash the peaches with a spoon to release their juices.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and add the black tea bags. Let the tea steep for 3-5 minutes, or until it reaches your desired strength. Remember, the longer you steep, the stronger the tea will be.
- Once steeped, remove the tea bags and strain the mixture to remove the peach and ginger pieces. Discard the solids and let the tea cool to room temperature.
- Transfer the tea to a pitcher or individual serving glasses filled with ice cubes. If desired, add honey or sweetener of your choice to taste and stir until dissolved.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired, for an extra refreshing touch.
