Method

Tea Preparation

  1. 1

    Boil Water

    In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil.

  2. 2

    Steep Tea

    Once the water is boiling, remove it from heat and add the 4 black tea bags. Allow them to steep for 5-7 minutes, depending on your desired strength.

  3. 3

    Add Sugar

    After steeping, remove the tea bags and stir in 1 cup of sugar while the tea is still warm, ensuring it dissolves completely.

Flavor Infusion

  1. 4

    Add Lemon Juice

    Stir in 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice to the sweetened tea for a refreshing citrus flavor.

  2. 5

    Incorporate Peaches

    Add 1 cup of sliced peaches to the tea mixture. You can muddle them slightly to release more flavor if desired.

  3. 6

    Add Mint

    Finally, stir in 1 cup of fresh mint leaves into the tea for a refreshing herbal note.

Chill and Serve

  1. 7

    Chill the Tea

    Let the tea cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until chilled.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Serve the iced tea over ice in tall glasses, garnished with additional peach slices and mint leaves if desired.
