Ginger-Peach Iced Tea in the Instant Pot
Tip: 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.
Ginger-Peach Iced Tea in the Instant Pot
Ingredients
- 8 cups water
- 6 organic black tea bags, paper tags removed
- 4 fresh peaches, pitted and cut into chunks
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely minced
- local honey, to taste
Instructions
1. Add water, tea bags, peaches, and fresh ginger to Instant Pot and stir to combine.
- 2. Add lid and lock into place. Switch the vent to “Sealing” and set the “Manual” setting on normal for 5 minutes.
3. 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.
4. Carefully strain hot tea mixture with a fine mesh strainer to remove the solids. Pour the remaining liquid into a large, heat-resistant pitcher.
5. 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!
Optional garnish:
1 fresh peach, cut into thin slices
6-8 fresh mint sprigs
Goodness this sounds good. Fresh peaches are like the hallmark of summer. We dont get really good ones here except a certain times of the year. I would have never thought to IP this, very clever!!!
This looks so good. We had peach tree and lightning struck it and it never bloomed again it was such a sad day. Ice tea is also a favorite of mine especially in the dummer
Wow! That is so sad!
I have an Instant Pot, but never knew you could make iced tea in it! The instant pot has so many uses. I will have to try making it in there sometime!
