Wheat Free Classic Peach Iced Tea
There is something deeply satisfying about a tall glass of peach iced tea made entirely from scratch, and this version delivers that sweet, fruity refreshment in the most straightforward way possible. Ripe peaches are simmered down with sugar and water into a lush homemade syrup that tastes nothing like the artificial stuff — it's bright, fragrant, and genuinely peachy. The syrup gets strained smooth and stirred right into freshly brewed black tea, giving you a drink that's perfectly balanced between floral, fruity, and just a little bold. For anyone navigating a wheat-free lifestyle, this recipe is a natural fit — every single ingredient here is inherently free of wheat, with no grains, flours, or hidden additives anywhere in sight. Garnished with fresh peach slices and a sprig of mint, it looks as good as it tastes. Make a big pitcher and keep it in the fridge for the week — it only gets better as it chills.
