A refreshing summer beverage made with peaches and raspberries, perfect for hot days.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups water
- 2 tea bags (black or green tea)
- 1 cup fresh peaches, sliced
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1/2 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
- 4 cups cold water
- Ice cubes
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and add the tea bags. Let steep for 5 minutes, then remove the tea bags and allow the tea to cool to room temperature.
- In a blender, combine the sliced peaches, raspberries, and sugar. Blend until smooth. If desired, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds and pulp for a smoother texture.

- Refrigerate the iced tea for at least 1 hour to chill.
- To serve, fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the peach raspberry iced tea over the ice. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
Notes
- For a sparkling version, replace half of the cold water with sparkling water just before serving.
- Experiment with other fruits like strawberries or blueberries for different flavor combinations.
