Print Recipe

A vibrant and uplifting iced tea blending the gentle sweetness of peach with the tangy brightness of hibiscus, perfect for a refreshing pick-me-up.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2–3 hibiscus tea bags
  • 2 medium ripe peaches, sliced
  • 4 cups (1 liter) filtered water
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or agave/maple syrup for vegan option)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • A handful of fresh mint leaves (optional)
  • Ice cubes for serving

Instructions

  1. Bring 4 cups (1 liter) of filtered water to a rolling boil in a saucepan or kettle (about 5 minutes).
  2. Place 2-3 hibiscus tea bags in a heatproof pitcher. Pour the hot water over them, cover, and steep for 8-10 minutes until deep ruby red. Avoid steeping longer than 12 minutes to prevent bitterness.
  3. Slice 2 medium ripe peaches into thin wedges while the tea steeps.
  4. Add peach slices to the hot tea and stir gently. Let infuse for another 5 minutes.
  5. Remove tea bags and peach slices using a fine mesh strainer.
  6. Stir in 2 tablespoons honey until dissolved, then add 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice. Adjust sweetness and lemon to taste.
  7. Transfer the tea to the fridge to chill for at least 30 minutes, or add ice cubes directly to speed cooling.
  8. Serve poured over ice in glasses or mason jars, garnished with fresh mint leaves and a peach slice if desired.

Notes

Do not over-steep hibiscus tea to avoid bitterness; steep 8-10 minutes covered. Use ripe peaches for best flavor. Honey can be swapped for agave or maple syrup for a vegan option. Leftover tea stores well in the fridge for up to 48 hours. For stronger peach flavor, add extra peach slices during chilling. Stir tea occasionally while cooling to blend flavors.
