With less than 89 days until summer – I can't help but recognize that it's too early to talk about anything iced and refreshing. But summer drinks just hit different, so I thought I'd share a delicious black tea recipe that's honestly great year round.
Mint peach black teas combine the refreshing and sweet flavors of peach and mint with the smooth rich undertones of black tea. It's easy to make, and rewarding to drink! So without further ado, follow the recipe below to craft a delicious mint peach iced black tea.
Delicious year round, but especially during the summer – mint peach iced black teas combine the sweet and refreshing flavors of peach and mint with the bold, smooth undertones of black tea.
For this recipe, I recommend the use of a french press. This will make working with both the loose tea and mint leaves easier.
Ingredients
3-4 Tsp. Loose Leaf Black Tea. (We recommend Earl Grey or Assam)
Begin by bringing 16 ounces of water to a near boil. While you wait, feel free to set aside a couple mint leaves for decoration, while adding the rest of the mint leaves to your french press.
Pour your black tea into your french press. Once the water is at a near boil, slowly add your water into your french press.
Steep the tea and mint for 3 minutes. This will give the tea a lighter flavor which works well with peaches.
While you steep, add peaches and ice into two 8oz cups.
After 3 minutes, slowly push the plunger of the french press down. Pour in black tea while allowing more room for additional ice as desired.
