Ingredients Tips for Homemade Peach Tea
Can you believe this recipe takes only 3 ingredients?
- Peaches – For the best results, use ripe peaches that are slightly softened. You’ll get the best fruity peach flavor!
- Tea bags – We like Lipton tea bags for black tea, but you can use your favorite tea bags or even loose leaf tea!
- Sweetener – We love to use honey for this peach tea, but you can also use cane sugar, homemade simple syrup, or sweetener alternatives for a low-sugar alternative.
