Peach Bourbon Tea
George Watts III
“My mom made fresh-brewed tea and as a kid, I loved it. Still do. I love peach tea … the freshly brewed teas … the different types of teas. This recipe can be made in large quantities or in batches. Peach tea … you can’t go wrong with a little bourbon in it.”
Servings 8 –10 ounces (Serves 5–6)
- 1 quart (4 cups) freshly brewed sweet tea (or unsweet if preferred) 1½ cups bourbon
- 1 cup peach nectar or purée
- Juice of 1 lemon (about 2–3 tablespoons)
- Ice
- Fresh peach slices, lemon wheels and mint sprigs for garnish
In a large pitcher, combine the tea, bourbon, peach nectar and freshly squeezed lemon juice. TIP: adjust peach nectar for sweetness, add more nectar if using unsweet tea.
Stir well and chill for at least 30 minutes. Serve over ice and garnish with peach slices, lemon wheels and mint.
