Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1 cup brewed green tea (cooled)
- 1/2 cup lemonade
- 1/4 cup peach syrup
- Ice
- Peach slices for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by brewing 1 cup of green tea. Use your preferred method, whether it's a tea bag or loose leaf. Allow the tea to steep for about 3-5 minutes, then remove the tea bag or strain the leaves. Set the brewed tea aside to cool completely.
- While the tea is cooling, prepare your lemonade. If you have store-bought lemonade, measure out 1/2 cup. If you prefer homemade lemonade, mix freshly squeezed lemon juice with water and sugar to taste until well combined.
- Once the green tea has cooled, combine it with the lemonade in a mixing glass or pitcher. Stir gently to mix the two liquids evenly.
- Add 1/4 cup of peach syrup to the mixture. You can use store-bought peach syrup or make your own by simmering equal parts sugar and water with fresh or frozen peaches until the mixture thickens. Stir well to ensure the peach syrup is fully incorporated.
- Fill a glass with ice cubes. Pour the peach green tea lemonade mixture over the ice, filling the glass to your desired level.
- If desired, garnish your drink with fresh peach slices for an extra touch of flavor and presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Iced Peach Green Tea Lemonade!
Tips
- Tea Temperature Matters: Allow your green tea to cool completely to prevent diluting the drink's delicate flavors.
- Customize Your Sweetness: Adjust the peach syrup to match your preferred level of sweetness.
- Fresh is Best: Use fresh peach slices for garnish to elevate the drink's visual appeal and add a burst of natural flavor.
- Make Ahead: You can brew the tea and prepare the peach syrup in advance, storing them in the refrigerator for quick assembly.
- Ice Hack: Use large ice cubes or frozen peach chunks to keep your drink cold without rapid dilution.
- Experiment with Tea: Try different green tea varieties like jasmine or sencha for unique flavor profiles.
