# How-To Steps:

01 - Pour 2 cups of just-off-boil water over the green tea bags and steep 2–3 minutes until lightly infused; remove bags and transfer the tea to the refrigerator to cool.

02 - Combine 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1/2 cup cold water and 1/4 cup sugar in a pitcher; stir until the sugar dissolves completely and adjust sweetness if needed.

04 - Fill each glass with ice; pour equal parts cooled green tea, peach syrup and lemonade into each glass (approximately one-third of each liquid per glass) and stir gently to combine.

05 - Top with fresh peach slices and mint leaves if using, serve immediately and offer additional sweetener or sparkling water for customization.

# Expert Tips:

01 -

You can dial up the peach or lemon flavor—think of it as your own secret Starbucks hack at home.
Whipping up a batch is so easy that you might catch yourself making it more than once a week come summer.

02 -

If you steep the green tea too long, it’ll end up tannic and overpower the fruit.
Letting the tea cool properly before mixing makes everything taste crisp, not watery—game changer.

03 -

Always taste before serving—sometimes a pinch of sugar or a bit more lemon makes all the difference.
Peach nectar from the fridge section has brighter, fresher flavor than shelf-stable cartons.
