I remember the first time I made this Cinnamon-Peach Iced Tea—it was a warm afternoon, and I had just picked up some fresh peaches from the farmer's market.
The aroma of cinnamon mixed with the sweetness of ripe peaches instantly transported me back to my grandmother's kitchen, where she always had a pot of something wonderful brewing.
This recipe means a lot to me because it reminds me of those cherished moments while also being a delightful way to hydrate.
Plus, it’s so easy to whip up!

Ingredients & Substitutions
Fresh peaches are the star here, and they're best when they're in season—think summer bliss! If you can't find peaches, you can substitute with nectarines or even plums. Just make sure they’re ripe for maximum sweetness. I like to keep the maple syrup light, but you can always add more if you want it sweeter.
Tips & Notes
- •I like to chill my tea overnight for a stronger flavor—it's worth the wait!
- •Experiment with different teas! Green tea or herbal blends can also work beautifully with this recipe.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I add a splash of sparkling water when serving for a fizzy twist.
- •For a spicier version, try adding a pinch of ginger or nutmeg along with the cinnamon.
Storage & Freezing
This iced tea is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just give it a little stir before serving again, as the flavors might settle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches?
Absolutely! Just let them thaw a bit before adding them to the drink. They’ll still taste great and keep your iced tea cool.
