Though I used to despise peaches as a child, I’m quite fond of them now. All it took was one good peach milkshake and my mind was changed. Ice cream has undeniable power over me.
Origins of Peach Tea
Sweetened iced tea is a popular beverage in the Southern US and the oldest written recipe is believed to date back to an 1879 cookbook. We couldn’t find any history on the addition of peaches, but they are a common crop in southern states, especially in Georgia.
The following is our inspired take on the peach tea we’ve tried in restaurants including… Sonic. I hate to compare this tea to Sonic’s, because that would mean I would have to admit I go there.
But since the cat is out of the bag, I am fond of Sonic’s unsweetened iced tea with peach and was happy to recreate something so similar at home that was much fresher and made with ingredients I know and trust. This peach iced tea really is perfect.
How to Make Peach Iced Tea
It starts with peach simple syrup, which has the most gorgeous pink hue. Not to mention, it tastes amazing – like ripe peach liquid candy. If you don’t want that, you’re wrong.
Once your simple syrup is made, all that’s left to do is brew up your favorite black tea. We prefer loose leaf, but bagged tea is fine too. The main flavor here is the peach anyway, but quality tea certainly doesn’t hurt.
This peach iced tea is summer perfection. It’s
Perfectly sweet
Mega peachy
So refreshing
Ice cold
Simple to make
& Perfect for hot summer days & BBQs
The beautiful thing is, you can brew the iced tea and keep the simple syrup on hand so each person can decide how much they want to add. Or, you can mix it all together in a tea dispenser for easy serving for parties and such. It really is the perfect summer beverage. Hope you’ll give it a try. Cheers!

Perfect Peach Iced Tea
Ingredients
SIMPLE SYRUP
- 1 cup organic cane sugar
- 1 cup water
- 2 ripe peaches (thinly sliced // plus more for serving)
TEA
- 2-3 Tbsp loose leaf black tea (3-4 tea bags // depending on how strong you prefer it)
- 8 cups filtered water
Instructions
- Bring sugar, water, and peaches to a boil in a small saucepan. Then lower heat and use a wooden spoon to stir and crush the peaches to infuse the flavor.
- Once the sugar is dissolved, cover, remove from heat and let steep for 25-30 minutes.
- In the meantime, brew your tea using either a large pot or a tea maker. I use this loose leaf tea steeper. NOTE: Use less tea if you prefer it weaker or more tea if you prefer it stronger, and try not to let it steep longer than 4-5 minutes or it can get bitter.
- Once brewed, remove tea bags or strain out loose leaf tea and transfer to a pitcher. Refrigerate to cool.
- Once your simple syrup is finished, pour into a bottle or container over a fine mesh strainer to strain out peaches. You can reserve the peaches for later use, such as to place over oats or ice cream sundaes.
- To serve, either set out simple syrup and add as much to the tea as you like, or add all of the simple syrup to the tea and stir. I prefer leaving it separate. Serve tea over ice and fresh sliced peaches. Recipe as originally written yields about 10 servings (with ice and peaches).

E.S. says
Excellent! I have been drinking peach tea all summer and was so excited to make my own now that it is peach season. I used 1 yellow and 1 white peach and it was still a pretty pink color. I wish the peach flavor was a bit stronger, but it was probably the white peach that threw it off (I just have to use more syrup). It was great in oatmeal and, of course, makes an incredible peach tea (be sure to use a nice black or green tea). I have some vanilla ice cream that I know is going to go so well with the syrup and some fresh peaches. Also, the peach syrup is lasting a while in the fridge. Looking at some other peach tea recipes, it looks like the syrup itself lasts a week or two but it’s only the tea that goes bad quickly in 4-7 days. Hummingbird nectar lasts 2 weeks in the fridge, so I am guessing a flavored simple syrup stores similarly. Can’t wait to make some more (with all yellow) and maybe try freezing it! :)
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
Amazing! Love all your creative uses for the syrup. Thank you for sharing! xo
Megan says
Is this supposed to thicken up like a syrup? I measured out all ingredients, but it turned out to be a thin liquid. What did I do wrong?! Smells delicious!
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
Hi Megan! It is supposed to be thin. You are on the right track!
Kate says
can you use green tea instead
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
That should work!

Perfect peach tea! Delicious

What is the best way to
Store the syrup? I have the bottles, I mean in the fridge or on the counter?
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
In the fridge is best.
AhTian Griffin says
Has anyone used brown sugar instead of cane or white sugar? How is it?!
Heather says
What type of black tea would you recommend using? I’m partial to Harney and Sons, but I’m not sure what type of black tea to use — English Breakfast, earl gray, black currant…? What would you recommend?
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
Hi Heather, it’s a flexible recipe and should work with almost any! Assam or English Breakfast would be our top choices.
Jill says
I used 4. Peaches peel and all I want mine to really taste peachy. 2 peaches won’t do it. I also used 2 cups sugar and m2 cups of water as I wanted more syrup. Used 2 large tea bags. It was so good.
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
Thank you for sharing, Jill!
Lindy Lumbert says
great recipe. thanks.
I made my simple syrup from xylitol instead of white sugar. I use equal amounts of water and xylitol and just let it melt in a saucepan.
It keeps indefinitely at room temperature.
Xylitol is made birch tree bark and is even safe for diabetics.
Then I freeze the peach pulp in ice cube trays. I add the peach at serving time.
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
Thanks so much for the lovely review and for sharing your modifications, Lindy! xo
Lana says
Can I use artificial baking sweetener instead of cane sugar, would that still work?
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
Hi Lana! We’re not familiar with artificial baking sweetener, but let us know if you do some experimenting!
Deana says
Peach Syrup was super easy! I added extra peaches as it was in a reject fruit box and peaches on top needed to be used straight away, I’d do this again and reduce sugar just a little next time. I did however do cold brew tea (thanks to comments on tea ratio) and added lemon but you don’t need to, it’s great without :)
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
Woohoo! Thanks so much for the great review and for sharing your experience, Deana!
Hannes Olsson says
I don’t think you need to use organic sugar. Works fine with the regular stuff because it tastes the same. Organic peaches and tea however I feel is a must, because they taste so much better.
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
Hi Hannes! Feel free to use regular sugar, it definitely tastes the same. The only reason we call for organic cane sugar is to ensure it’s vegan friendly! Hope this helps.
Whitney says
I did this recipe, although my tea tasted too strong…I probably used too many tea bags.
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
Thanks for sharing your experience, Whitney!
Verlene says
Somewhere in this recipe I saw you can make popsicles. Do you use the finished tea and syrup?
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
Yes!
Aga says
Can I use frozen peaches and xylitol?
Thank you !
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
Hi Aga, we haven’t tested it that way, but we think it would be okay! Probably not as flavorful. Let us know if you try it!
Liz says
I used tinned peaches and I put all of the peach juice in the pan as well as the one cup of water and it has worked perfectly well. However, you might not want to add all of the sugar if you are putting in all of the peach juice from the tin as it is already quite sweet. Very easy to make. Great for a nice fruity summers day!
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
Lovely! Thank you for sharing, Liz!
Nazifa says

Isaac Dear says
Delicious tea! A couple of tips from my experience: 1) splurge for good-quality tea. You can use cheap stuff, but it’s noticeable. 2) You MUST add around 2-3 tsp of lemon juice to the tea, it adds a lot of flavor.
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
So helpful! Thanks for sharing, Isaac!
Cathy Farris says
Not at all hard to make. My partner has been drinking nothing but Snapple Peach Tea, so I decided to try and make it from scratch, as right now the peaches are at their peak. The end product is delicious!
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
So glad to hear it, Cathy! Thank you for the lovely review! xo
Diego josephia says
I will give you 4 stars for now, the syrup is amazing, just the tea portion either failed because of the tea itself, or something in the recipe soo i will repeat it with pickwick english tea lets see if i taste a difference
Jen says
How long does the peach syrup keep for?
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
Hi Jen, we’re not entirely sure, but would say at least 2 weeks!
Chantelle says
What would be your recommended ratio of peach syrup to tea?
Dana @ Minimalist Baker says
Up to preference! Start with 1 Tbsp / 1 cup and work your way up!
Sannah says
I just made it and it looks delicious .I use sugar thou instead of cane sugar can’t wait to taste it

Can you use regular sugar rather than cane sugar?
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
Sure!
Minnie says
Thanks for sharing this recipe! Next time I’d probably chop up my peaches even smaller than thinly sliced but it was nice to not have to peel them. I’d also like to try it again with honey or maple syrup instead of sugar. Really good!!
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
Thanks for sharing, Minnie!
Carol says
With 25 lbs of peaches on hand, I confess I was first attracted to this recipe because it did not require peeling the fruit. Instead of making a whole pitcher of tea, I put it in a jar and used it like I would honey—a glass at a time (excellent, too in hot tea). The lovely mess of peach flesh left in the pan was heavenly on toast. When I make it again, I will triple the recipe, can the syrup and continue to cook down the remaining peaches in the pan to create lovely preserves. I love the fact that this allows me to use the whole fruit—everything but the pit.
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
Love your ideas! Thanks for sharing, Carol!
Kelly says
Made this with half a cup of local honey instead of sugar as I don’t love using straight sugar in anything – and it came out so delicious. Thanks so much!
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
We’re so glad it turned out well! Thanks for sharing, Kelly!
Claire says
Yum! This was my first time making a simple syrup, and I love how, well, simple, it is! I halved the recipe and mixed the syrup into the tea, but next time I’d keep it separate to control the level of sweetness. Very delicious and refreshing. My boyfriend and I both enjoyed it during these hot summer days!
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
We’re so glad you both enjoyed it, Claire! Thanks so much for the lovely review! xo
Meena Gehani says
I love this tea. I made it with only half the amount of sugar and added four very ripe peaches!
Its so refreshing! Never buying the bottled stuiff again.
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
We’re so glad you enjoyed it, Meena! Thanks so much for the lovely review!
Sophie says
when brewing the tea, should i use hot water or cold water?
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
Hot water
Stephanie Burns says
Hey! Just made this and it’s the best recipe I’ve come across – thanks so much!
I was wondering if there’s anything I can use the peaches for once they’ve finished with the syrup? I’d hate to waste them by throwing them out if there’s something else I could use them for?
Dana @ Minimalist Baker says
Sure! You could puree them and use them as a “jam” or sauce!
Kelsey says
I’m not a tea drinker but used the peach syrup part of the recipe to make the base of a pitcher of iced drinks with soda water added to share at a party. Also added some pineapple and fresh lime for a bit of zing to cut through the sweet. :) worked lovely. Didn’t realise simple syrup was SO easy to make, will definitely be trying again with whatever stonefruit is available locally at the time
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
Great idea, Kelsey! We’re so glad you enjoyed it!
Kim says
do you make the tea normal strength like you would if you were just going to have glass of tea?
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
We make it weaker than a normal tea, but you can brew to your preference!
Asjad Ali says
My son age of 9 year and patient of juindace can I use ice tea for recovery of my child disease?
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
Hi Asjad, we’re sorry, but we cannot offer personalized nutrition advice. We would recommend speaking with a nutritionist for information on helping your son’s condition through diet.
Shaista says
Hey, I’ve tried the recipe and clearly done something wrong. I used 2 ripe peaches, 1 cup (250ml) of water and I cup (200gms) of sugar. However, the taste is more sugary than peachy. How do I fix this :(
Dana @ Minimalist Baker says
If you prefer a stronger peach flavor, ensure your peaches are ripe. And next time cut back on sugar and increase the amount of peaches!
Kitty McIntyre says
Absolutely delicious. Much nicer than the horrible stuff you get in bottles in the uk. Very fresh and so refreshing and so easy to make. Will have again
Dana @ Minimalist Baker says
Thanks, Kitty!

Tracey says
Is it wrong to say I’d like to bathe in this? Lol. Seriously, I’ve made this a gazoodles of times and I can NOT keep this in my fridge between my husband, 17 yo daughter and college son!! It’s a beautiful, delicious simple thing. I adore beautiful, simple and delicious in all areas of my life but am grateful for my recipes that fit those criteria!!?
OH!! Just fyi and something I do…I’ll make up the simple syrup, strain very well and add to ice cube trays then just pop out when needed!! ?
Sometimes if I have some vanilla ice-cream in the freezer I will take the left over strained pulp from the peaches (add or not depending who’s eating it) add some crushed pecans and a touch of brown sugar to that leftover deliciousness and top that ice-cream. Soooooooo good!! ?
Have a lovely blessed day, Ms Mimimalist Baker!!?
Jessica Handshoe says
This is so refreshing and delicious! I modified the recipe with a touch of lemon juice and about a quarter cup of sugar. (I’m a southern sweet tea girl.) Instead of thinly slicing the peaches, I cut up the two ripe peaches and stuck them in my Bullet smoothie processor. Everything else, I stuck to the recipe! It came out like a better version of Snapple Peach Tea. Delicious!
Brenda says
Is this something you can freeze for use at a later time?
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
We haven’t tried and can’t say for sure, but I would think it should work! Let us know if you give it a try!
Tracey says
Yes, for me anyway it works!! I make sure the simple syrup is strained very well and add to ice cube tras. Pop out how many you need!! ??

Hi! This recipe looks great. My only question is, can I replace cane sugar with normal granulated sugar? Will it affect the syrup drastically?

Has anyone ever tried freezing, canning, storing this simple syrup away to give as gifts later in the year and if so how does it work? If not how long does it last? My son and I are going peach picking tomorrow and this sounds delicious!

Excellent! The tea is cooling right now, and the peachy simple syrup is perfect. Using homegrown peaches that are sweeter than sin ;)

C. Mayo says
This simple peach syrup is absolutely heavenly! My first taste of the syrup was definitely one of those “Oh… my… goodness… where have you been all my life?” moments; I just wish the syrup was concentrated enough to support my gallon-a-day sweet tea habit!
Harriet Toogood says

Asra says
This looks incredible, I am so much going to try this today! What us better than homemade ice tea :)
Emma says
I’m… a Snapple addict. It’s embarrassing.
Also I still dont like eating peaches whole because they’re fuzzy on the outside. Nectarines all the way!
Can’t wait to try this syrup using lots of other fruits too. :D
Thanks!
Dana @ Minimalist Baker says
I prefer nectarines, too! Hope you love this one, Emma!
Mrs Christy Glaze says
I’m diabetic, but I love peaches. Can you make the peach syrup with just the peaches? The only time, since there has been Luzianne, that I haven’t bought it, was when that other tea bag company had Peach tea bags. I came right back when they quit making them. Y’all should make them.
Sweetboia’lamode says
I believe you could make the syrup simply without sugar and it’s a unsweetened sweet tea, or use a sugar substitute that you’re allowed to have
Sabina says
Hi, i just made your pech syrup, and it doesn´t look that clear as yours. Do you think a might boil it for too long ?I´m afraid that it will be more like a jam than syrup. I made double batch, but i think it´s not that problem. But tastes good!
Sarah Acey says
I think English tea bags might be stronger…. I used 4/5 tea bags and this just made a really strong tea flavour drink! The peach syrup was delicious though so I’ll try it again soon :) thanks for the recipie!
Erin says
We tried this and it was so amazing! I am wondering, have you ever tried it with different fruit? We might try a mango version and a peach raspberry version.
Anna says
This looks so amazing, and I can’t wait to try it. I have one question though… Do you store the leftover syrup in the fridge? Or can it stay out of the fridge?
Mai says
I made this with strawberries because I didn’t have enough peaches and it was amazing. I’m making this for our Christmas lunch and I’m sure everyone will like it :)
Evelyn D says
This sounds great and I’m anxious to try it. I’m curious to know if canned peaches can be subbed for the fresh ones, and about how much syrup (per 8 or 16 oz of tea) gives that true peach flavor. I would like to make this in gallon quantities so there’s enough for gatherings!
Dana @ Minimalist Baker says
I’m not sure, but I would assume so!
Anna says
I just tried it today with canned peaches (since there are no peaches in the market yet). It doesn’t have the beautiful pinky color. It looks like the syrup in the can of peaches with heavy syrup. It’s a light peachy color. :(
Dottie Sorrells says
Most of the color and flavor comes from the peelings. My mother actually puts the pits in with the liquid and cooks it along with the peelings for a beautiful color. She does this for jams and jellies.
Ash says
I’ve been wanting to make my own for a while and this is the first and last recipe I will be using! The results were great, I love that everybody can adjust the syrup for preference, but more importantly now I have yummy peach leftovers to justify having ice cream ;)
Tess says
This tea is deliciously addicting! So fresh and full of peach flavor. This recipe is a keeper!
Alyssa says
This looks absolutely amazing. I’m be making a trip to my local produce stand ASAP to get more peaches!
I am wondering, do you know approximately how long the syrup will stay good if it is in the refrigerator? I would love to make some and keep it on hand for a while!
tasos says
Thank you for the recipe. It’s excellent!
However I modified that a little bit. I replaced sugar with honey, added a little bit of
orange blossom water and used jasmine tea pearls instead of black tea! Cant stop drinking it!!!

Sandy says
What about unsweetened I’m doing chemo and my doctor wants me to stay away from sugar but I love peach tea
Colleen says
Go for it! You’ll have tea naturally sweetened by the peaches I’d imagine.
Stevie E says
This mixes up very peachy and juicy and delicious. Note to Sandy: it’s the glycemic surge that your doctor is concerned about, because foods or drinks that cause sudden great spikes to the blood sugar level are what feed cancer. You can however, have it all without using artificial sweeteners which are also not good for you. Try Lo-han, AKA monkfruit extract sweetener. It has no funky or bitter aftertaste at all, tasting so much like sugar without the high glycemic index. I believe there are a couple of other types of sweeteners available on Amazon that are also safe for you. Read the reviews to learn about them–they’re very helpful. And, there’s an all-natural supplement that, taken 15 minutes before ingesting any high glycemic index food, also prevents the surges, known generically as berberine. One brand name version is called Glyco X. It’s even beneficial to type 2 diabetics. Check Amazon for that, too. But it’s best to avoid high sugar foods as much as possible.
Ole says
Use Stevia :)
Kat says
Try brown rice syrup. It’s fructose free.
