Easy Homemade Peach Iced Tea Recipe

April 16, 2013 by Melissa 33 Comments


Easy Homemade Peach Iced Tea


Today, I have a favorite drink recipe to share that is perfect for those upcoming BBQs. I’ve adapted my sweet tea recipe and created an Easy Homemade Peach Iced Tea Recipe. This Peach Iced Tea is so refreshing and absolutely gorgeous, making it perfect for a party. I’m partial to serving it in a mason jar with a striped straw, but this would be beautiful served in a large glass pitcher as well.

I wanted to keep this recipe quick and easy, but still delicious. So I used peach nectar, found in the juice aisle along with fresh peaches and fresh lemon to brighten up the flavors.

    Melissa, I don’t know many people who could make peach tea look so outrageously delicious and refreshing! I literally want to reach through my screen and grab at that chilly glass of yummy, fruity liquid gold.

    What kind of tea do you use? Black? Orange pekoe? English Breakfast? There are so many, I’d like to get the flavor just right…

      Hi Stephanie!

      I use Orginal Lipton tea bags. Any of those sound amazing though!

    Hello, when you say 10 cups of ice water, do you just mean ice or ice/water mix? Thank you.

      Thanks for the question. Water with ice in it. I usually fill my giant measuring cup with ice, then add water to it so it measures 4 cups. I do that 2 1/2 times:0)

    I had a hard time finding in Tulsa, OK. I went to two different grocery stores. Could the Jumex Peach Nectar be used?

      Yes, I think that would work fine! As long at it has that peach favor. Just adjust the sugar to taste:0)

    hi! this sounds great. i’m just wondering, if i am planning on not serving this right away – like keeping it in my fridge instead, do i still add the ice water or will that dilute it too much? or does it need to be diluted like that? or should i just add 10 cups of water?

      The ice is just to cool it down. You can just add 10 cups of water:0)

    I have been unable to find peach nectar so I bought mango nectar. I haven’t yet made it, but have to tomorrow for a party. Do you think the mango nectar along with fresh peaches will be ok?

      I think frozen peaches would be your best bet!
