Homemade peach iced tea: a treat to enjoy all summer long
This summer, make the switch: leave the fizzy drinks in the cupboard. Swap these overly sugary drinks for a homemade peach iced tea—a delicious, healthier alternative that is just as indulgent!
The advantage? You control all the ingredients and can even invent your own blends! Say goodbye to artificial flavourings and embrace the natural.
Choose between the subtle notes of white tea or green tea, both of which pair delightfully with peach. The roundness and sweetness of this quintessential summer fruit also harmonise wonderfully with the boldness of black tea. Let your imagination run wild: add more fruit, flowers, or spices—the possibilities are endless!

From morning to aperitif, this homemade peach iced tea can be enjoyed on any occasion. Its cold-brew method infuses the tea's flavours gently, with all the subtlety and none of the bitterness.
Served chilled, you can garnish it with fresh basil or mint leaves for an extra burst of flavour. It can also be savoured with a dash of fresh lemon juice for a delightfully tangy twist.
