Ingredients
- 1 tbsp loose leaf tea or 2 bags
- 300 ml water
- 30 ml no dairy — this one is a tea
- 2 tbsp peach syrup
- a lemon wheel
Equipment
- Kettle with temperature control
- Tea infuser or pot
- 16 oz glass
- Timer
How to make it
- Heat 300 ml of water to 95 °C. Temperature is the single biggest variable in how this tastes.
- Put 1 tbsp of loose leaf (or 2 bags) in an infuser and steep for 4 minutes exactly. Over-steeping releases tannin and the drink turns drying.
- Pull the leaves out — never leave them sitting in the water while you do something else.
- Stir 2 tbsp peach syrup into the hot tea so it dissolves completely.
- For an iced version, fill a 16 oz glass with ice, pour the hot tea straight over it and add no dairy — this one is a tea.
- Finish with a lemon wheel and serve.
Tips that actually matter
- Green tea at 80 °C for 3 minutes. Hotter or longer turns it bitter and drying.
- Peach syrup, not peach purée — purée clouds the tea and sinks.
- This drink is better iced than hot.
Variations
- Iced peach green tea with a lemon wheel.
- Peach black tea: swap the leaves and steep 4 minutes at 95 °C.
- Add 1 tsp of vanilla for a peach-vanilla green tea.
