Making two mason jars of peach iced tea can be your new summertime thing, just like me! Instead of making a giant pitcher of iced tea, I just make two mason jars each morning. I’m afraid that if I made a giant pitcher, I would drink this all day instead of water, plus, I’m trying to watch my caffeine intake! So, two small jars of tea is perfect for my house. It’s the afternoon treat that we need to keep going, so that we can keep up with the kids in the late afternoon. Honestly, we’re going to get our caffeine one way or another, and sometimes we make our iced mochas. As long as we have something cold and sweet with caffeine in our fridge, we’re set! Our love of tea is very evident with our sweet tea fried chicken, if you must know!
Homemade Peach Tea Ingredients
black tea bags: Four regular-sized (single-serving) bags of black tea; two per cup. Since iced tea is, well, iced, it can be watered down, so we use two tea bags per serving instead of one. water: We need 2 cups of boiling water and 2 cups of cool water. canned peach juice: I like Jumex brand, but search the juice aisle for your favorite peach juice. optional: fresh peach slices and mint, for garnish

I’m slowly weaning myself down to half sweet tea and half unsweet tea, but the heart wants what it wants. If you want just a touch of sweetness to your peach iced tea, the sugar in the peach nectar is plenty! Only add the extra sugar if you’re a diehard sweet tea fan :)
