How to Make Homemade Iced Peach Tea

Step 1: Make the Peach Syrup

2. Remove from heat and steep the tea bags for about 5–7 minutes, depending on your preferred strength.
3. Let it cool slightly, then discard the tea bags.

Step 3: Combine and Chill

1. Mix the cooled tea with the peach syrup in a large pitcher.
2. Stir in lemon juice, if using.
3. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until chilled.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

2. Pour the iced peach tea over ice.
3. Garnish with peach slices and fresh mint, if desired.
