Notes
Tip: Adjust the sweetness of the tea by varying the amount of honey you add, according to your taste preference.
For the best flavor, allow the tea to steep longer for a stronger ginger taste. You can also adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey based on your preference. If fresh peaches aren’t available, feel free to substitute with peach nectar or canned peaches.
Store leftover iced tea in the refrigerator for up to three days. Serve it over ice with a sprig of mint or a slice of lemon for a beautiful presentation.
