Ingredients

  • 8 cups water
  • 6 organic black tea bags paper tags removed
  • 4 fresh peaches pitted and cut into chunks
  • Local honey to taste

Instructions

  • Add water, tea bags, and peaches to Instant Pot and stir to combine.
  • Add lid and lock into place. Switch the vent to “Sealing” and set the “Manual” setting on normal for 5 minutes.
  • When finished, allow pressure to release naturally (NR) for 10-15 minutes, then do a quick release (QR) to allow the remaining pressure to escape.
  • Carefully strain hot tea mixture with a fine mesh strainer to remove the solids. Pour the remaining liquid into a large, heat-resistant pitcher.
  • Sweeten with honey, to taste, and stir to combine. Cool slightly before serving over ice with peach slices and sprigs of fresh mint, if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Remove tea bags as soon as the pressure has been fully released to prevent bitterness. If you prefer stronger tea and want to leave the bags in longer, add a pinch of baking soda prior to brewing.
  • If you want, you substitute honey for sugar, or forms of sweetener. As a southern boy, I would pull out the bag of sugar, and add a cup of it in.
