Method

01

Steep the jasmine tea

Bring the water to a boil in a pot. Remove from the heat, add the jasmine tea leaves or tea bags, and let steep for about 5 minutes. Strain out the leaves or remove the bags.

02

Sweeten and add the peaches

Stir the honey into the warm tea until it dissolves completely. Add the sliced peaches and let them infuse for a few minutes.

03

Chill and serve

Cool the tea to room temperature for about 30 minutes, then refrigerate at least 30 minutes until cold. Pour over ice and garnish with fresh mint leaves if you like.

Tips

NoteAdjust the honey to taste; ripe peaches need less sweetness.

NoteAdd a splash of sparkling water just before serving for a fizzy version.

NoteFreeze leftover tea in ice cube trays so future drinks stay cold without diluting.

Frequently asked

Can I use another tea?+

Yes, green tea or a mild herbal blend works, though jasmine gives the prettiest floral note.

How do I make it more refreshing?+

Serve with extra ice and a sprig of mint, or use frozen peach slices instead of ice cubes.

Can I make it ahead?+

Brew and refrigerate the tea a few hours early so the flavors infuse fully.
