I can't think of anything better to be sipping on this summer than homemade Peach Sweet Tea. Easy to make and so refreshing, make sure to take a glass with you poolside. It's a great tea, that everyone will enjoy. It should be in your fridge all summer long!
I grew up on Sweet Tea!
I've been a sweet tea fan forever! My dad was the tea fan in my house while my mom hated it. How can you hate tea? Sometimes I wonder if she is really from the south but that's another post for another time.
I really like tea anyway, sweet, hot, cold, lemon, but this peach takes the cake. It's the perfect summer drink and I plan to be sitting pull side with a big glass in my hand later today.
How to make Peach Sweet Tea:
Sweet tea is a southern staple! It can and should be drank all year round though, it doesn't just need to be enjoyed in the summer! One way I love to enjoy my tea is by flavoring it! There's something about a
Ingredients:
- Teabags
- Water
- Sugar
- Fresh Peaches
Directions:
Step one: Start by preparing your tea. Boil 6 cups of water and allow 3 teabags to seep until tea is made (about 5-10minutes). Set aside.
Step Two: Peel and slice peaches and remove the pit. Use a masher to crush peaches and place them in a pot with 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar. Bring to boil then return to medium heat and stir until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to sit for 30 minutes.
- Tip - Some alternatives to sugar could be Stevia, Monk fruit, Honey, or Agave Nectar.
Step Three: Remove fruit pieces by straining the peach syrup through a strainer. Once strained add this peach syrup to your brewed tea.
- Tip - It is important to strain the tea, as the chunky peaches would be hard to drink with a straw.
Step Four: Serve on ice and enjoy it!

What size tea bags? Regular or Family size?
I used regular sized tea bags for this recipe.
Can I freeze the syrup for use this winter?
That's a great idea but I have yet to freeze this recipe so I'm not sure how it will hold up.
I froze the syrup last summer and just made it. It was soooo tasty. So the answer is yes you can successfully freeze the syrup.

Thanks so much for the update David!
Sounds delicious, my wife used to buy turkey Hill sweet peach tea at reasors and they just stopped selling them and only other place that sells turkey hill tea is Dollar tree and it's just plain turkey Hill sweet tea. So I'm going have to try this since we drink around 3 gallons of tea each day . Thanks for sharing
That's too bad! But I hope you enjoy this recipe!
