On those steamy hot summer days, why not beat the heat with this refreshing Ginger-Peach Fruity Iced Tea.

The best part?

Brewed with fresh peaches and fresh ginger, this quick and easy Instant Pot version is ready to enjoy in less than 30 minutes!

Serve over ice with peach slices and sprigs of fresh mint, if desired.

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.

Ginger-Peach Fruity Iced Tea

Prep time: 5 minutes

Cook time: 15-20 minutes + time to come to pressure

Serves: 6-8

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
Real maple syrup, to taste

Optional garnish:

1 fresh peach, cut into thin slices
6-8 fresh mint sprigs

Directions:

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 the hot tea mixture with a fine-mesh strainer to remove the solids.

Pour the remaining liquid into a large, heat-resistant pitcher.

Sweeten with maple syrup, to taste, and stir to combine.

Cool slightly before serving over ice with peach slices and sprigs of fresh mint, if desired.

Enjoy!
