Ingredients
- 2 cups water for steeping tea
- 2 bags green tea bags or 2 teaspoons loose-leaf green tea
- 2 large ripe peaches pitted and roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice about 2 lemons

Notes
Storage: Store leftover tea in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors may mellow and the drink may separate slightly; simply stir before serving. Make-Ahead: You can prepare the peach puree and steep the tea up to a day in advance. Combine and chill the final drink just before serving for the best flavor and effervescence if using sparkling water. Variations: For a minty twist, add 6-8 fresh mint leaves when combining the base. For a stronger tea flavor, steep the tea bags for an extra minute. Use coconut sugar or agave nectar as alternative sweeteners. Serving Suggestion: This drink is delightful on its own but pairs wonderfully with light summer salads or grilled chicken.
