Ingredients
Scale
Tea Base
- 2 mint tea bags
- 2 peach tea bags
- 4 cups boiling water
Finishing Ingredients
- 2 cups lemonade
- 1–2 tablespoons honey (to taste)
Instructions
- Steep the Tea: In a large pitcher, place the two mint tea bags and two peach tea bags, then pour in 4 cups of boiling water. Allow the tea bags to steep undisturbed for around 5 minutes to extract full flavor.
- Heat the Lemonade: Pour 2 cups of lemonade into a saucepan and heat it over medium heat. Remove the pan from the heat just before the lemonade reaches a boiling point to avoid altering the flavor. Using a milk frother, froth the heated lemonade to achieve a light, foamy texture.
- Sweeten and Assemble: Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of honey to your cup, adjusting based on your desired sweetness. Pour the hot steeped tea into the cup, filling it about halfway, then top off with the steamed, frothed lemonade. Stir gently before serving.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of honey to make the drink sweeter or more subtle according to your preference.
- If you don’t have a milk frother, you can whisk the heated lemonade vigorously to create some foam or skip frothing entirely.
- This recipe works well with herbal or fruit tea blends similar to mint and peach if you want to experiment with flavors.
- For a cold variation, let the tea cool and mix with chilled lemonade and ice cubes.
