Peach, Orange & Lemongrass Iced Tea

Step 1

Crush the lemongrass stalks. Cut the lemongrass stalks in half and slightly crush them using the side of a large knife. Crushing the stalks helps them release more flavor.

Step 2

Infuse the water. Fill a medium-sized saucepan with 3 cups of water. Place the lemongrass stalks in the saucepan. Bring to a boil and let simmer for about 15 minutes.

Step 3

Strain. Next, remove from heat and discard the lemongrass stalks.

Step 4

Add the tea. Add the peach tea bags to the saucepan and let it infuse for about 5 minutes. Once this is done, discard the peach tea bags and let the tea cool for about 30 minutes.

Step 5

Squeeze the orange. In the meantime, cut the orange in half. Squeeze out the juice by hand or by using a citrus reamer. You should get about 1/2 cup of orange juice.

Step 6

Combine. Finally, pour the orange juice into the lemongrass-infused tea and stir to combine. Add the sugar and stir until it has dissolved. Note: We recommend starting with only half of the sugar and adding more to taste.

Step 7

Serve. To serve, fill a glass with ice cubes, canned peaches, and a slice of orange. Pour in the tea, garnish with a few leaves of mint, and enjoy! You can keep this iced tea in a jar in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. We found it tasted as good on day 3 as it does on day 1.
