Notes
- Steep longer for stronger flavor: If you like bold iced tea, let the rooibos steep the full 15 minutes.
- Sweeten while warm: Add the honey while the tea is still hot so it dissolves smoothly.
- Enhance peach flavor: Gently press some of the peach slices with a spoon before chilling to release extra juice.
- Chill fully: Refrigerate until very cold, iced tea tastes best when served extra chilled.
- Make it sparkling: Swap some of the water with sparkling water just before serving for a fizzy twist.
- Garnish: Add fresh mint, lemon slices, or extra peach slices for a pretty and refreshing finish.
