This Easy Sweet Peach Iced Tea Smoothie is a hybrid between tea and smoothie, making you refreshed and energized on a hot day! Peach tea is so refreshing on hot summer days and this recipe is an elevated version of the refreshing summer drink. It's refined sugar-free and cooking syrup is not needed for this recipe. The whole peaches, lime juice, and freshly brewed tea are blended together to make a refreshing summer smoothie that is ready in under 10 minutes.
Tea or Smoothie, that's the question
I love juices and drinks with pulp so much more than no-pulp counterparts. OJs taste so much better with pulp(at least for me). Smoothie is more fulfilling than juices. The texture of pulp has some magical effect on drinks. And the pulp also adds healthy fiber to the drinks. So I thought why not with teas?
Classic peach tea requires cooking peaches with sugar to make peach syrup. But 1) I don't like to use white sugar in cooking and 2) I need something easy and quick! So this iced tea smoothie recipe skips all the steps and refined sugar to make a wholesome drink.
The Ingredients of Peach Tea Smoothie
- Tea leaves: I like loose teas but you can of course use tea bags instead. If you're using teabags, use 3-4 bags. You can also use cold brew tea.
- Peaches: Softer, more ripe the peaches, easier to blend. If you're using crunchy peaches, cut them into small pieces before blending.
- Maple syrup: add more or less for your desired sweetness.
- Lime: adds refreshing flavor.
- Ice cubes
- Peach slices, lime slices, and mint leaves, for topping(optional)
How to Make Peach Tea Smoothie
First, let's make black tea. Bring water to boil and brew tea. Allow the tea to steep for 4 minutes. Strain and let cool. You can use tea bags too.
Next, blend. In a high-speed blender, add peaches, tea, maple syrup, and lime juice. Blend until smooth.
Fill the glass with ice cubes and pour the peach tea. Garnish with Peach slices, lime slices, and mint leaves. Enjoy!
