Ingredients

  • 8 cups water
  • 6 organic black tea bags paper tags removed
  • 4 fresh peaches pitted and cut into chunks
  • 1 Tbsp fresh ginger finely minced
  • 1 Tbsp honey to taste

Optional garnish:

  • 1 fresh peach cut into thin slices
  • 6-8 fresh mint sprigs

Instructions

  • Add water, tea bags, peaches, and fresh ginger to Instant Pot and stir to combine.
  • Add lid and lock into place. Switch the vent to “Sealing” and set the “Manual” setting on normal for 5 minutes.
  • When finished, allow pressure to release naturally (NR) for 10-15 minutes, then do a quick release (QR) to allow the remaining pressure to escape.
  • Carefully strain hot tea mixture with a fine-mesh strainer to remove the solids. Pour the remaining liquid into a large, heat-resistant pitcher. Do not squeeze the tea bags - this releases the tannin which can give the tea a bitter note
  • Sweeten with honey, to taste, and stir to combine. Cool slightly before serving over ice with peach slices and sprigs of fresh mint, if desired. Enjoy!


    Ginger Peach Iced Tea
  • To make without an Instant pot, place the water, tea bags, peaches, and fresh ginger to a saucepan and bring to the boil on the stovetop, Remove from heat and cover with the lid and leave to steep for 5-20 minutes, depending on how strong you like your tea. Remove the tea bags, then press the peaches to release more of their flavor. Strain the tea as in step 4 and sweeten and continue with step 5.
