Green Tea Peach Sangria Tastes Like Summer

Green Tea Peach Sangria
YIELDS
2-4 servings

When I daydream of summer, I think of lazy afternoons at the lake house, cold drinks on the water, and colorful salads in the backyard. When enjoying an alfresco meal with friends and family, I like to have a pitcher of iced tea on hand to keep everyone hydrated and happy. The combination of slow-brewed green tea, juicy ripe peaches, and mint is nourishing on its own as an afternoon tonic, or you can spike it up for a special occasion with a dry white wine. For the best flavor, give the tea and peaches at least 5 hours to get acquainted — the flavors will only improve with time.

Directions

Step 1

In a pitcher or large mason jar, combine the tea bags, mint, and peaches. Use a wooden spoon to muddle the mint and smash the peaches into small chunks.

Step 2

Add the maple syrup and water. Squeeze the lemon wedge into the pitcher before dropping it in. Refrigerate for at least 5 hours or up to 2 days. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a wide-mouthed pitcher or bowl (discard the solids). Taste and add more sweetener if desired.

Step 3

Fill 2-4 glasses with ice and divide the sangria among them. Top with a splash of wine if desired. Garnish with the lemon slices (if using). Sip and reenergize!
