Cool off with a glass of this delicious Peach Green Tea! This tasty drink is easy to make and so refreshing ... you'll want to have a glass in your hand all summer long!
I'm a huge green tea drinker, whether it's iced in summer and hot in winter. It's full of healthy antioxidants, and it even contains a natural chemical called theanine that provides a calming effect.
On the flip side, I know that some people find green tea bitter and grassy-tasting. If that sounds like you, then you have to try this Peach Green Tea! This "Tea Cooler" is made with freshly brewed tea, paired with sweet, juicy peaches and fragrant mint.
You are going to love this easy recipe. It super refreshing, quick and easy to make, and you can easily customize the flavor by using different fruits and teas. Best of all, it tastes amazing!

You'll Also Need
To make this flavored Ice Tea, you'll need a tea kettle to heat the water, a blender to puree the peaches, and four tall heatproof glasses. If you don't have heatproof glasses, you can make the recipe in any heatproof container, like a saucepan, mugs, or a pitcher.
How to Make Peach Green Tea
This recipe has a few steps, but it's simple to make! You'll find a detailed recipe card below, but here's an overview of the steps:
- Brew tea. Start by adding two tea bags to each glass, plus a sprig of mint, then fill glass one-third full with boiling water. Let steep five minutes.
- Prepare peaches. While the tea is steeping, cut one of the peaches into large chunks, then puree it until smooth, along with a little sugar.
- Cool tea. After tea has steeped, remove the tea bags and mint. Then add two ice cubes to each glass and stir until they're melted.
- Mix tea and peach puree. Add three tablespoons of peach puree to each glass, then stir until combined.
- Garnish and serve. Cut remaining peach into wedges, then add two wedges to each glass. Fill each glass to top with ice, then garnish each glass with another peach wedge and a sprig of mint.
And that's all there is to it ... your Peach Green Tea is ready to drink!
Tip: I made my tea in individual glasses, but feel free to make a big batch in a heatproof pitcher if you'd prefer.
