What are the 3 ingredients?
As previously mentioned, the 3 ingredients needed to make this recipe is the Country Peach tea bags, lemon juice, and raw honey. Many iced tea recipes get fancy and require fresh fruit and herbs, mashing, cooking, and simmering. But this recipe requires only stirring and steeping. It’s so simple that I make this recipe multiple times a week during summer.
There are a few substitutions for this recipe. Instead of using Celestial Seasonings Country Peach Tea, you can use any fruity, herbal tea that you have on hand. Passion tea and orange tangerine are some of my favorites to sub this one out. You can also use agave syrup instead of honey. This recipe is totally customizable, so please, make it your own!
How do I make iced tea?!
Well, I am so glad you asked. Iced tea is simple to make! You don’t need a fancy iced tea maker or anything like that. Simply steep bags of tea using hot water, set in the fridge and let steep, then pour over ice and enjoy! It’s seriously that easy. It requires some chill time, but it’s really not high maintenance at all.

- ¼ cup raw honey use less if desired
- ¼ cup lemon juice use slightly less if you are using fresh squeezed lemon juice!

- Finally, set the pitcher into the refrigerator for about 60 minutes (or on the counter for 2 hours) until it's lukewarm or slightly chilled. Pour over ice and serve with fresh peach slices if desired!
