Ingredients
  

4 cups of water

4 black tea bags (or substitute with green tea for a lighter flavor)

2 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced

1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, plus extra for garnish

1/3 cup honey or agave syrup (adjust sweetness to your liking)

Ice cubes

Lemon slices for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Boil Water: Begin by pouring 4 cups of water into a medium saucepan. Heat over medium-high flame until it reaches a full rolling boil.

    Steep Tea: Once boiling, remove the saucepan from heat and place in the tea bags. Allow the tea to steep for 5-7 minutes, based on your preference for strength. After steeping, carefully remove the tea bags and set the mixture aside to cool to room temperature.

      Prepare Peaches: As the tea cools, add the sliced peaches and fresh mint leaves to a blender. Blend the mixture until it’s completely smooth. For a bit of texture, you may opt for pulsing the blender a few times rather than fully pureeing the mixture.

        Combine Ingredients: In a spacious pitcher, pour in the cooled tea and add the peach-mint puree along with your choice of honey or agave syrup. Mix thoroughly with a spoon until the sweetener has completely dissolved into the liquid.

          Chill: Transfer the pitcher to the refrigerator and allow the peach mint tea to chill for a minimum of 1 hour, or until it becomes refreshingly cold.

            Serve: When you're ready to enjoy, fill glasses with ice cubes. Pour the chilled peach mint tea over the ice and garnish with additional fresh mint leaves and lemon slices, if desired. Relish this delightful drink on a sunny day!
