    Why you'll love this recipe

    • As good as Starbucks! This recipe is a copycat version of the famous green tea Starbucks drink that captures the same sweet, citrusy, and fresh verdant flavors of the original!
    • It Costs Less. This recipe makes two grandes for less than the price of one!
    • Simple and Easy. You only need four simple ingredients to make this home-crafted beverage, and you do not need a barista certificate to do it!
    • Hassle-free Signature Beverage at Home! Why go out when you can stay in the comfort of your home to sip this healthy drink, right? You can make it ahead so you can pour yourself a glass anytime! If the weather is turning colder, I also like my copycat Starbucks honey oatmilk latte!
    • The Perfect Summer Drink. This thirst-quencher is the ultimate summer drink made with the combined goodness of peach, lemon, and green tea!

    Key ingredients

    Four ingredients, sans the ice cubes! You can even bring that down to three. Find out how below.

    Green Tea: You need green tea with notes on mint, lemongrass, and lemon verbena. Tazo Zen Green Tea is a good option, but other brands have the same ingredients. For example, Starbucks uses Teavana, so use that if you want it to be similar to what they make.

    Lemonade: You can use any brand you prefer. Homemade lemonade is also an excellent option.

    Peach Juice: I recommend using 100% pure peach juice in this recipe. Another option is to use a storebought peach + lemonade juice that comes all in one.

    Simple Syrup: You can also use honey or other sweeteners.

    Cold brew vs. hot brew methods

    Cold brew coffee is on the rise, but what you may not know I that cold brewing can also be done for teas. Cold brewing has a lot of advantages, especially for those suffering from acid reflux and heartburn, as it contains 70% less acid and caffeine.

    Sounds great, right? However, this method means you must steep the tea bags in water and keep them refrigerated for a minimum of 8 hours to overnight. So, start steeping your tea today if you plan to enjoy a cold brew tomorrow!

    Heather's helpful hints

    • Use hot but not boiling water. Using boiling water will make the tea taste bitter.
    • Wait until you are ready to pour your beverage to add the ice. Otherwise, you'll end up with a watered-down drink. Not good!
    • You can easily double or triple this recipe if you're serving it to a crowd.
    • Garnish it with fresh mint leaves for presentation and a refreshing menthol flavor boost.

    Frequently asked questions

    How long can I steep the tea bags in hot water?

    I recommend letting them soak for no more than 4 minutes, or the tea will become too bitter. If you plan to make a cold brew, steep the tea bags in lukewarm water for at least 8 hours in the fridge.

    Can I use other juices aside from peach?

    Of course! You can experiment with fruit juices like mango, apple, lychee, or cranberry.

    Do I need a shaker to make it?

    Not necessarily. If you have it, you can use one, but I find that stirring works just fine.

    Does Peach Green Tea Lemonade contain caffeine?

    Yes, it does. Since we are using hot brew green tea, this drink contains caffeine. However, the caffeine level is lower compared to coffee.

    Step-by-step instructions

    1. Make your tea. Put two green tea bags into a mug. Pour hot (but not boiling) water over the tea bags. Let the tea steep for 3-4 minutes. Remove the tea bags and squeeze out any additional liquid. Chill the tea in the refrigerator for one hour.

    2. Stir everything together. Once cool, add the tea to a pitcher. Add peach juice and lemonade. Stir everything together and cool in the refrigerator again, if needed. If you desire additional sweetness, add the simple syrup to the mixture, a half teaspoon at a time.

    3. Pour and enjoy! To serve, fill your glass halfway full with ice. Then pour your peach green tea lemonade into the glass.

    Make ahead and storage tips

    You can make the tea concentrate ahead of time and keep it in the fridge for up to three to five days. Then, place it in a tightly lidded jar or bottle. Once the Peach Green Tea Lemonade is made, I recommend consuming it immediately to enjoy its fresh flavors.
