Instant Pot Peach and Ginger Iced Tea
Beat the heat this summer with this refreshingly fruity peach ginger iced tea made in the Instant Pot.
Ingredients
- 8 cups of water
- 6 black tea bags paper tags removed
- 4 fresh peaches pitted and cut into chunks
- 1 Tablespoon fresh ginger finely minced
- Honey to taste
Optional Garnish
- 1 peach cut into thin slices
- Fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- Add water, tea bags, peaches, and fresh ginger 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 the 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 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.
