Iced Peach Green Tea (Starbucks Copycat)
Summer is here and what better way to beat the heat than with a refreshing iced peach green tea? Store-bought iced teas can be loaded with sugar and preservatives, but making your own at home is not only healthier, it’s also delicious! In this blog post, we’ll show you how to make the perfect homemade iced peach green tea using fresh peaches and green tea. Not only will it be better than what you can buy at Starbucks, it will also be a great way to use up any fresh peaches you may have on hand. So, let’s get started!
Although we have lived in the South for over 20 years, we still drink my tea un-sweetened. So, this recipe does not have any processed sugars or sweeteners. However, if you want your tea sweet, just add the amount of sugar when you steep the tea. A true Southerner only drinks sweet tea that has had the sugar added at the start of the process!
Seriously, though, Pearson Peaches are just so sweet, that you will NOT even NEED sugar! To get the FULL Starbucks experience, you are gonna want to add some tea and ice to a cocktail shaker, and give it a good shake!
What we love about Pearson Farm peaches is that they are delivered to our doorstep! From June until early August, they ship fresh Georgia peaches all over the continental United States.* Handpicked straight from our orchards, their sweet peaches are a summertime delight.
