How to make peach green tea

2. Infuse: Let steep for 3 minutes then remove the green tea.
3. Let chill: Transfer the peach tea to a large pitcher and store in the fridge.
4. Serve: When ready to serve, add ice to tall glasses or mason jars, and enjoy!

Variations

• For a sweeter drink: Sweeten with a small splash of simple syrup or maple syrup.
• Starbucks version: To make a Starbucks peach green tea lemonade use jade citrus mint tea instead of green tea and mix with lemonade.
• Black tea: If you prefer more of a caffeine boost, swap the green tea bags for black tea! Just remember to steep for less time so you don’t end up with a bitter taste.
• Add some curb appeal: To make this peach tea look super impressive, add some fresh mint leaves to the large pitcher or in each tall glass.
