Method
Iced Tea Base
Brew concentrated tea
Bring 1 cup hot water just off boil. Add 4 black tea bags and steep 4–5 minutes for a strong brew. Remove tea bags, squeezing gently to extract flavor.
While tea is still warm, stir in 3 tablespoons granulated sugar until fully dissolved. Add 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, stir, and let the tea cool to room temperature (15–20 minutes) or transfer to refrigerator to chill further.
Cocktail Mix
Combine alcohol and juices
In a large pitcher (1.5–2 quart), pour 12 oz vodka, 4 oz peach schnapps, 2 oz orange liqueur, and 1 cup fresh orange juice. Stir gently to combine.
Once the brewed tea is cooled, add it to the pitcher and stir thoroughly to marry flavors. Taste and adjust sweetness or acidity: add up to 1–2 tablespoons simple syrup or sugar if you prefer sweeter, or a splash more lemon juice for brightness.
Finish & Serve
Serve immediately. If making ahead, keep chilled in the refrigerator (covered) for up to 24 hours, then stir and add fresh ice and garnishes just before serving.
