Ginger-Peach Iced Tea
Ingredients
- 8 c. water
- 6 organic black tea bags paper tags removed
- 4 fresh peaches pitted and cut into chunks
- 1 T. fresh ginger finely minced
- Local 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.
-
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!
Recipe Notes
Tip: Remove tea bags as soon as the pressure has been fully released to prevent bitterness. If you prefer stronger tea and want to leave the bags in longer, add a pinch of baking soda prior to brewing.
