Hey, happy Saturday! Over here in Canada, we’re celebrating Canada Day with a 3-day weekend. It’s supposed to be hot and humid, (which I actually love) and full of sunshine. We have a family get-together and we’re also having a casual BBQ with friends. Other than that, I’ll basically just be administering calming treats to our one dog that’s absolutely petrified of fireworks. We also build a little blanket cave for her to feel safe in. Our other dog couldn’t care less! So weird.
We’ll be cooling down with this mega refreshing iced peach green tea too. Save this recipe for your juiciest and most flavorful peaches! It really makes a difference.
Iced Peach Green Tea
Iced peach green tea is refreshing, fruity, flavourful, and naturally sweetened. No weird syrups or added flavours–just fruit and tea!
Servings 1 Litre
Ingredients
- 2 green tea bags
- 1 litre cold water
- 2 very ripe peaches peeled and chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon agave nectar
Equipment
Notes
- The tea will get super frothy after you blend it with the peaches, but don’t panic. I just skim off a bit of the top layer of foam and let the rest settle after straining.
- I’ve used plain green tea and a few flavoured green teas as well (mint, a tropical mix one) in this and all were great.
- I brew my green tea overnight to tame the bitterness and to keep the tea as clear as possible.
Instructions
- In a sealable jar, combine the tea bags and water. Close the lid of the jar and set in the fridge to brew overnight.
- The next day, remove the tea bags from the iced green tea. Pour the iced green tea into an upright blender. Add the chopped peaches, lemon juice, and agave nectar. Blend this mixture on high until peaches are liquified, about 45 seconds.
- Set a fine mesh strainer over a wide mouth pitcher or bowl. Pour half of the iced peach green tea through the strainer. Using a spoon, scrape any pulp away to keep the tea flowing through the strainer. Once done, repeat with the remaining half of the iced peach green tea.
- Serve the iced peach green tea over lots of ice with an extra squeeze of lemon if you like. This tea keeps in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 3 days. Shake before serving.
Thank you! this recipe looks fabulous!

I love how fresh and simple this is. Perfect for summer :)
This sounds so good!
I love your recipes !
Would it work to leave agave out and let people add if needed?
My sister lives in Canada and I’m always giving her a hard time about how you Canadians always try to one up our holidays :)
Have a great holiday!

Hi Mari!
Yes the recipe would definitely still work if you left the agave out and saved it for serving. Hope you have a lovely 4th ;)

Sounds good. I might add peach flavored boba beads.
