Notes
- Water temperature matters: Green tea can turn bitter if steeped in boiling water. Aim for just below boiling (175–185°F).
- Steep to your taste: 3 minutes for lighter tea, 5 minutes for stronger flavor.
- Sweetness adjustment: Add more or less honey depending on how sweet you like it.
- Herbal tea options: Swap peach tea with citrus, berry, or even peppermint for a twist.
- Boost immunity: Add a slice of fresh ginger for extra warmth and soothing qualities.
- Make it iced: Brew as directed, then chill and serve over ice for a refreshing cold version.
- Double batch: Easily scale the recipe to make a teapot full if serving more than one.
