Ingredients
  

4 cups of water

4 black tea bags (or 4 teaspoons of loose black tea)

1 cup of fresh peaches, pitted and chopped (frozen peaches can be used when out of season)

2 tablespoons of fresh ginger, grated (add more for additional spiciness)

1/2 cup of honey (adjust to taste; agave syrup can be used as a substitute)

Juice of 1 lemon

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Ice cubes

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tea: In a medium-sized saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil. Once the water reaches a boil, remove it from heat and add the black tea bags or loose black tea. Allow it to steep for 5-7 minutes, depending on your preferred strength of tea.

    Make the Ginger-Peach Syrup: In another medium saucepan, combine the chopped peaches, freshly grated ginger, and honey along with 1 cup of water. Place over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer. Let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes while stirring occasionally until the peaches soften and release their juices.

      Strain the Syrup: Once the peach mixture has simmered well, remove it from heat and let it cool slightly. Using a fine mesh strainer, pour the mixture into a bowl or pitcher, discarding the solid peach and ginger pulp. You will be left with a fragrant, sweet syrup infused with peach and ginger.

        Combine and Add Flavor: After the tea has finished steeping, remove the tea bags or strain out the loose tea leaves. In a large pitcher, combine the brewed tea, the ginger-peach syrup, and the juice of 1 lemon. Stir the mixture thoroughly to combine. Taste and adjust sweetness with additional honey if desired.

          Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the combined mixture for at least 1-2 hours or until it is thoroughly chilled and refreshing.

            Serve Iced: When ready to serve, fill individual glasses with ice cubes. Pour the chilled ginger peach iced tea over the ice and garnish with fresh mint leaves. For an extra touch, add a slice of peach to each glass.

              Enjoy: Delight in your refreshing Spiced Ginger Peach Iced Tea on a warm day or as a fabulous beverage option for gatherings!
