Wash the peaches well and cut them into slices. You can keep the skin on or peel it. Fresh peaches give the best flavor. This step is important because ripe peaches make your peach iced tea recipe naturally sweet and fragrant.

Add sliced peaches, sugar, and 2 cups of water into a saucepan. Cook on medium heat for 10 minutes. Stir gently while cooking. The peaches will become soft and juicy. This creates a sweet peach base for your peach iced tea recipe.

In another pot, boil 2 cups of water. Add black tea bags and let them steep for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags and let the tea cool slightly. Strong tea flavor is important for a balanced peach iced tea recipe.

Strain the cooked peach mixture into a pitcher. Press gently to extract all juice. Add brewed tea into the same pitcher. Stir well so both flavors mix together. This step creates the main base of your peach iced tea recipe.

Add lemon juice for a fresh and slightly tangy taste. Pour in cold water or ice cubes. Stir everything well. Let it chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour. This makes your peach iced tea recipe extra refreshing.

Pour the iced tea into glasses filled with ice. Add fresh mint leaves for extra aroma. Serve cold and enjoy. This final step makes your peach iced tea recipe perfect for hot summer days.
