Does this peach and mint iced tea have caffeine?
Yep, this iced tea has some caffeine since it’s made with black tea. The amount depends on how strong you brew it. The longer you leave the tea bags in, the stronger the caffeine content will be.
You can always use caffeine-free tea if you want to avoid caffeine altogether.
How to Make Peach and Mint Iced Tea
- Start by muddling some fresh mint leaves with the lemon juice in a tall glass. This really brings out the minty flavor.
- Next, pour in some peach puree (or nectar) and cold black tea, then give it a good stir.
- Fill the rest of the glass with ice, stir again, and you’re good to go! Garnish with an extra mint leaf or peach slice if you’d like. Enjoy!
Other Fun Ideas
- Add a splash of sparkling water or club soda for some extra fizz.
- Use frozen peach slices instead of ice cubes to keep your drink cold without diluting it.
- Try different types of fruit purees, such as mango, raspberry, or strawberry, for a twist on the classic peach flavor.
