Print Recipe

A smooth, cold-brewed green tea infused with ripe peaches, fresh raspberries, and mint. This easy, crowd-pleasing drink is perfect for summer gatherings and offers a gentle caffeine lift without bitterness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–6 green tea bags (e.g., Tazo, Bigelow, or Harney & Sons)
  • 6 cups filtered water
  • 2 medium ripe peaches, sliced into thin wedges (skin on)
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • ½ cup packed fresh mint leaves (spearmint or peppermint)
  • 3–4 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • Ice cubes for serving

Instructions

  1. Cold brew the green tea: Place 4-6 green tea bags in a large pitcher. Pour 6 cups of cold filtered water over them. Cover and refrigerate for 8-12 hours (overnight is ideal). Do not stir or shake.
  2. Prepare the fruit: Wash the peaches, raspberries, and mint. Slice peaches into thin wedges (leave skin on). Pick mint leaves off stems and set aside.
  3. Muddle the fruit and mint: In a separate bowl or the bottom of the pitcher (after removing tea bags), combine peach slices, raspberries, mint leaves, and honey. Use a muddler or wooden spoon to gently press the fruit and mint about 10-15 times to release juices and oils without making a paste.
  4. Combine and infuse: Pour the cold-brewed green tea over the muddled fruit mixture. Add lemon juice and stir gently. Cover and refrigerate for another 1-2 hours to let flavors marry.
  5. Strain and serve: Place a fine-mesh strainer over a clean pitcher or directly over serving glasses. Pour the tea through the strainer to catch fruit solids and mint leaves. Discard solids. Fill glasses with ice cubes, pour strained tea over ice, and garnish with fresh mint sprigs and extra raspberries if desired.
  6. Taste and adjust: Before serving, taste the tea. If not sweet enough, stir in more honey dissolved in a tablespoon of warm water. If needs more brightness, add another squeeze of lemon.

Notes

Don’t oversteep the green tea—10 hours is the sweet spot. Muddle gently to avoid bitterness. Use room-temperature honey for easier mixing. The tea tastes even better the next day. Store strained tea in the fridge for up to 3 days without ice. For a sparkling version, top each glass with sparkling water after straining.
