Make your own hemp peach iced tea

Ripe peaches, as you can get everywhere right now, are velvety, wonderfully juicy, and naturally delightfully sweet. Hemp peach iced tea is always a great idea, especially when you have ripe peaches left over. Unfortunately, these sweet little fruits don't last very long. No problem: for an especially fruity and naturally sweet hemp peach iced tea, extra-ripe fruit is just right. Hemp tea is particularly suitable as a base for a refreshing iced tea. Its mild, slightly bitter taste forms a nice contrast to the sweetness of the ripe peaches. In addition, hemp tea is caffeine-free. So there's nothing stopping you from enjoying a glass of delicious hemp iced tea as a summery sundowner – by the way, it's a real insider tip not just with peaches!

Ingredients

• 4 organic peaches
• optional: 1 tbsp sugar
• 3-5 g HANAFSAN organic hemp tea
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• ice cubes

Preparation

1. Wash and halve the peaches. Remove the pits and cut the flesh into pieces.
2. In a pot with 200 ml water, bring the peach pieces and sugar (if using) to a boil and let steep for about 15 minutes.
3. Pour the liquid through a sieve and let cool.
4. Meanwhile, brew the hemp tea with 500 ml boiling water and let steep for 4-5 minutes.
5. Strain, add lemon juice, and let the hemp tea cool as well.
6. Put ice cubes in a jug, pour in the hemp tea and peach juice, stir well, and serve ice cold.

TIP: No peaches at home? This hemp iced tea recipe also tastes great with berries or with the juice of 2 lemons – simply stir in 2 tbsp sugar directly into the iced tea.
