It's an easy pitcher drink for warm afternoons, brunch, garden gatherings, or a summer afternoon tea. The fresh fruit makes the pitcher especially beautiful for serving, while flavored tea bags keep the recipe wonderfully simple.
Some summer days call for nothing more than a cold glass of tea in the shade and a few quiet minutes to enjoy it. This is the iced tea I reach for when peaches and raspberries are at their seasonal best.
Raspberry Peach Iced Tea at a Glance
- Flavor: Fruity and refreshing, with both peach and raspberry flavor.
- Tea options: Use black tea blends for a caffeinated drink or herbal peach and raspberry teas for a caffeine-free version.
- Sweetness: Add honey, agave, simple syrup, or sugar to taste-or omit the sweetener entirely.
- Make ahead: Prepare and chill the tea several hours or up to a day before serving.
Ingredients
Other than a pitcher for iced tea, here's what you need:
- Peach tea bags: Use your favorite peach-flavored black or herbal tea. A black tea blend will contain caffeine, while an herbal blend is generally caffeine-free.
- Raspberry tea bags: Look for a raspberry herbal or fruit tea that pairs well with the peach flavor.
- Fresh peaches and raspberries: The fruit adds seasonal flavor and makes the finished pitcher beautiful for summer serving.
- Sweetener: Use honey, agave, simple syrup, or granulated sugar to taste. You can also leave the tea unsweetened.
How to Make Raspberry Peach Iced Tea
- Steep the peach and raspberry tea bags in boiling water for 5 minutes. Remove and discard the tea bags.
- While the tea is still warm, stir in your preferred sweetener until completely dissolved. Let the tea cool before transferring it to a large pitcher.
- Add the sliced peaches and raspberries, stirring gently so the berries remain mostly intact. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
- Serve over ice and garnish with additional peach slices, raspberries, or fresh mint, if desired.
I especially love serving it as the chilled tea for my August Afternoon Tea, alongside peach preserves, garden savories, and late-summer berry sweets.
Recipe FAQ's
Store the tea in a covered pitcher in the refrigerator for up to three days. Serve it over fresh ice and add new fruit or mint garnishes as desired.
Yes. The tea can be brewed and refrigerated several hours or up to a day before serving. Keep it covered and add the ice just before serving so it doesn't become diluted. This fruity iced tea is also a lovely addition to my August Afternoon Tea menu, inspired by the peaches, berries, and relaxed garden gatherings of late summer.
