One of my favorite parts of summer is enjoying all the fresh, ripe produce. Summer peaches happen to be one of my favorite ingredients for summer friendly recipes.

When I was in Italy last two summers ago, I learned firsthand that adding fresh fruit to tea is a great way to add lots of flavor without having to add extra sugar or sweetener.
Grilling the Peaches
It might seem like an unnecessary step, but trust me you will be glad you did once you taste this tea. Grilling the peaches bring out a natural sweetness and adding the peaches to the tea while it’s steeping lock in the flavor.
Adding Zing with Ginger
A few pieces of sliced, fresh ginger give this iced tea just a hint of zing without being overpowering. Ginger is also a source of antioxidants and may assist with inflammation and digestive issues.
Brewing it all Together
The number of tea bags you’ll need will depend on how strong you like your tea. This recipe makes a medium bodied tea, so add more if you prefer strong tea and less if you like it more mild.
I prefer black tea with this recipe but any type of tea you prefer would also work.
