Equipment

  • Saucepan or kettle
  • Knife for cutting peaches
  • Glasses or pitcher for serving
  • Stirring Spoon

Ingredients

  • 6-8 peach tea bags
  • 1 cup lemonade
  • ice
  • 6 oz whiskey
  • mint for garnish
  • peach slices for garnish

Instructions

  1. Boil Water: Start by heating water in a saucepan or kettle until it reaches a rolling boil.
  2. Steep Tea: Add peach tea bags to the hot water and let them steep for 10-15 minutes. The longer you steep, the stronger the peach flavor will be.
  3. Prepare Peaches: While the tea is steeping, slice some fresh peaches to be used both in and as a garnish for the cocktail.
  4. Cool the Tea: Allow the steeped tea to cool down for about an hour in the fridge.
  5. Assemble the Drink: Fill your glasses or a pitcher halfway with ice.
  6. Add Lemonade and Whiskey: Top up with lemonade and a 6 oz of peach whiskey to taste.
  7. Mix: Stir the mixture well to combine all the ingredients.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Garnish each glass or the pitcher with the fresh peach slices you prepared earlier and a sprig of mint. Pour the cooled peach tea over the ice until the glasses or pitcher are half full.

Notes

  • Maximize Flavor Through Steeping: Let the peach tea bags steep in the boiling water for at least 10-15 minutes. The longer you steep, the stronger the peach flavor will be in your cocktail.
  • Cooling is Key: Ensure the tea is completely cooled before making your cocktail. This not only prevents the ice from melting too quickly but also keeps the drink refreshing and enjoyable, especially on hot days.
  • Whiskey to Taste: The amount of peach whiskey can be adjusted based on personal preference. If you prefer a stronger alcohol flavor, add a bit more whiskey, but if you prefer a milder drink, reduce the quantity.
