Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 56 oz Hot Water
  • 7 Tea Bags of Sencha Green Tea (see post for more info)
  • 1/2 cup Rawl Local Honey
  • 1 cup Fresh or Frozen Peaches (sliced)
  • Fresh Basil, optional (chopped)

Method
 

  1. Add 1 tbsp of the loose tea to each of the tea bags. Boil the water to 160° F. Pour the hot water into a 1/2 gallon mason jar. Add the tea bags and cover with a lid or cloth. Allow to steep for 10 minutes.
  2. Remove the tea bags. Next, stir in the honey. Add in fresh or frozen sliced peaches. Set aside to cool to room temperature or chill in the fridge.
  3. (Optional) Place 4-5 peach slices and a couple of tablespoons of basil into two serving glasses. Muddle the peaches and basil, then fill the glasses with ice.
  4. Pour the tea in a clear glass (visually, it's pretty to look at). Use the remaining peach slices and/or basil for garnish if desired!

Notes

  • It's best not to go over 170° F when boiling the water. Too hot of water can make the green tea taste somewhat bitter.
  • This Southern Front Porch Peach Tea can be served warm for a great morning cup of tea.
  • If you don't have a 1/2 gallon mason jar. Just use water you have. A pitcher will work fine.
  • You can use black tea if you like in this recipe. I suggest this one as it's an organic Ceylon black tea than the brands I mentioned above. Please see post for link. It's perfect for that traditional southern sweet tea. Just follow the directions in the recipe card to make it a Southern Sweet Peach Tea.
