Ingredients
  

4 cups brewed black tea, cooled completely

2 large, ripe peaches, pitted and sliced

1/4 cup honey (adjust to taste)

Juice from 1 fresh lemon

3 cups ice cubes

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Brew the Tea: Begin by brewing 4 cups of your preferred black tea using either loose leaf or tea bags. Allow the tea to steep undisturbed for about 5 minutes. Once steeped, remove the tea bags or strain out the leaves. Let the tea cool to room temperature, or speed up the process by refrigerating it until chilled.

    Prepare the Peaches: While the tea is cooling, rinse the ripe peaches under cold water. Slice them in half, remove the pits, and cut the flesh into wedges. Reserve a couple of slices for garnish if you'd like to make the presentation more appealing.

      Blend the Mixture: In a blender, combine the cooled tea, sliced peaches, honey, and the freshly squeezed lemon juice. The lemon juice adds a bright, zesty flavor that complements the sweetness of the peaches. Blend the ingredients on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth.

        Add Ice: Gradually incorporate the ice cubes into the blender. Pulse the mixture until it transforms into a frosty, slushy consistency. Keep an eye on the texture; you may need to scrape down the sides of the blender or adjust the amount of ice to achieve your preferred slushiness.

          Taste and Adjust: Take a moment to taste the slush. If you prefer a sweeter flavor, add more honey and blend again. You can also tweak the amount of lemon juice to intensify the refreshing citrus note.

            Serve: Pour the vibrant slush into chilled glasses. If you saved some peach slices, artfully arrange them on top of each drink for a decorative touch. For a finishing flourish, garnish with a sprig of fresh mint.

              Enjoy: Serve the Peach Paradise Iced Tea Slush promptly with a straw or spoon. Sip and savor this delightful, refreshing treat on a warm day!
