A perfectly sweet and refreshing glass of peach iced tea is the best drink for a hot summer day. You just need 4 simple ingredients to make this fancy drink at home.
As the temperature is soaring high, it becomes really necessary to keep yourself hydrated. And if you are cutting back on the fizzy and unhealthy drinks, you should definitely try this recipe. This light and fruity summer drink will surely quench your thirst.
To make this at home you need, fresh peaches, loose tea or tea bag of your choice, lemon juice and sugar. Here I have made a mildly sweet ice tea, but you can add more sugar if you like. And you can use any kind of tea in this recipe, like black tea, green tea etc. Here I have used black tea from the brand Tata Tea Gold. If you like your tea to be strong then you may add more tea leaves. And if you like a mild tea then add fewer leaves. Steep the tea for 2-3 minutes only. Otherwise, it can make the tea bitter.
Sipping on a glass of ice-cold tea always cheers me up. And I hope it will cheer you up too. Do give this recipe a try and don’t forget to share your experience with me.
