Instructions
-
In a saucepan, bring the water to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, remove the saucepan from heat and add the black tea bags. Let the tea bags steep in the hot water for about 5-7 minutes, depending on your desired strength of tea.
-
While the tea is steeping, place the sliced peaches in a blender or food processor. Pulse until the peaches are pureed but still slightly chunky.
-
After the tea has steeped, remove the tea bags and stir in the honey until it is completely dissolved.
-
Add the peach puree to the tea and stir well to combine.
-
Tear the fresh basil leaves and add them to the tea mixture. Stir gently to release the basil's aroma into the tea.
-
Allow the tea to cool to room temperature before transferring it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 1-2 hours.
-
Once the Peach Basil Tea is chilled, serve it over ice in glasses. Garnish each glass with a fresh peach slice and a sprig of basil for a beautiful presentation.
-
Enjoy your Peach Basil Tea on a hot summer day or whenever you need a refreshing pick-me-up!
