Ingredients
- 8 cups water
- 6 organic black tea bags, paper tags removed
- 4 fresh peaches, pitted and cut into chunks
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger root, finely minced
- Local honey, to taste
Optional garnish:
- 1 fresh peach, cut into thin slices
- 6-8 fresh mint sprigs
Equipment
- Instant pot®
- Cutting board and knife
- Heat resistant pitcher
- Fine-mesh strainer
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 hot tea mixture with a fine mesh strainer to remove the solids. Pour the remaining liquid into a large, heat-resistant pitcher.
- Sweeten with a little honey, to taste, and stir to combine. Cool slightly before serving over ice cubes with peach slices and sprigs of fresh mint, if desired. Enjoy!
Cooking Tips
- 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.
