Ingredients
  

4 cups of water

4 black tea bags (or any tea of your choice)

2 ripe peaches, pitted and thinly sliced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

1/4 cup honey (adjust according to your desired sweetness)

Juice of 1 lemon

Ice cubes

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ginger Peach Infusion: Begin by bringing 4 cups of water to a rolling boil in a medium-sized saucepan. Once the water is boiling, remove it from the heat. Add the black tea bags, grated ginger, and sliced peaches to the hot water. Allow the mixture to steep uncovered for 10-15 minutes, giving it enough time to develop a rich flavor.

    Sweeten the Tea: After the steeping period, take out the tea bags and strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large pitcher, discarding the solids. While the tea is still warm, add the honey and stir until it is completely dissolved, creating a perfectly sweetened tea.

      Add Lemon Juice: Squeeze the juice from one fresh lemon directly into the tea and give it a good stir. This addition brings a delightful tartness, beautifully balancing the natural sweetness of the peaches and honey.

        Chill the Tea: Allow the infused tea to cool down to room temperature before transferring it to the refrigerator. Let it chill for a minimum of 2 hours or until it’s completely cold.

          Serve: When ready to serve, fill each glass with ice cubes. Pour the chilled Ginger Peach Iced Tea over the ice, allowing it to refreshingly cool as it fills the glass. For a beautiful touch, garnish with extra peach slices and a sprig of fresh mint if desired.

            Enjoy: Before drinking, give the tea a light stir to combine the flavors, and then savor the refreshing blend of spicy ginger and sweet peach!
