How to Make Summer Peach Iced Tea Cocktail
Like a boozy concoction? Instant Pot Peach Iced Tea or Iced Tea cocktails are the perfect addition for a backyard BBQ, housewarming party, brunch, cocktail party or any get-together.
Few things are more refreshing than a cold sweet tea sipped slowly in the on a hot summer day. Our Summer Peach Tea is so simple to make and it pairs beautifully with your favorite whiskey or bourbon.
It’s fun and simple and takes peach tea to new levels. It can easily be increased to make a full pitcher and enjoy a long afternoon by the pool with friends.
- 1 ounce Whisky or Bourbon (such as Jack Daniel’s)
- 1 ounce Peach Schnapps
- 4 ounces Fresh Peach Iced Tea iced tea
- Garnish with fresh mint and a lemon wedge
- Add ice to a highball glass.
- Add all ingredients.
- Stir briefly to blend.
- Garnish with a sprig of mint and a sliced lemon wedge.
Tips for Making the Best Instant Pot Iced Tea
- Use 5-6 Family sized Iced Tea Bags of your choosing, we recommend the Luzianne brand. It’s been a favorite here for years and is easy to find in the tea aisle at just about any grocer nationwide.
- Allow the IP/Ninja Foodie to do a Natural Release for 5 minutes, then do Quick Release to depressurize fully. Remove the tea bags and then add sweetener if using.
- 10 minutes total is the optimal steeping time for flavor and clarity of any Instant Pot Iced Tea.
- Use your favorite sweetener or no sweetener at all, we use organic honey because it’s our favorite way to sweeten tea. But sugar, raw sugar, and Stevia are all good choices too.
- Once you’ve added the sweetener (if using) add the remaining water and allow the tea to chill completely before adding the peach simple syrup.
Can I Make Instant Pot Iced Tea in the Ninja Foodi?
Yes! In fact we have both the Instant Pot and Foodie Ninja and both work perfectly for brewing iced tea in a pressure cooker. The batch pictured here was cooked with the Ninja Foodi. I actually love cooking with both of these great tools the Ninja Foodi offers some additional features and makes some KILLER chicken wings too with the air fryer setting. Like the best wings you’ve ever had kind of chicken wings!
Chef’s Tip: You can run the peach simple syrup through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the pulp. We did strain it for this recipe but left the fruit in our Strawberry Iced Tea.
How to Make Instant Pot Southern Sweet Tea
Add 3 cups water, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and tea bags to the Instant Pot insert. Place the cover and lock it into position. Set the vent to sealing, then select manual, high pressure and set the timer to 5 minutes.
After the timer sounds, turn off the IP and allow the tea to steep for another 5 minutes. Then do a Quick Release, making sure the pot is fully depressurized and the red button has fallen. Open the Pot and carefully remove the tea bags.
Stir in 1 cup sugar until dissolved, serve Instant Pot Southern Sweet Tea over an abundance of ice and a squirt of lemon if desired.
How to Make Instant Pot Lemon Iced Tea
Pour 3 cups water, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and tea bags to the Instant Pot insert, place the cover and lock into position. Set the vent to sealing, then select manual, high pressure and set the timer to 5 minutes.

Add 1 sliced lemon and allow the tea to sit for 15 minutes, then add the remaining 7 cups of water stir to combine, serve over ice and garnish with lemon.
How to Make Instant Pot Green Tea
To make Instant Pot Iced Green Tea, just exchange the black tea for your favorite green tea instead.
Can I Make Decaffeinated Tea in the Instant Pot?
Yes, absolutely! Use your favorite decaf tea to make the same refreshing teas here. You may need to experiment with the quantity of tea bags (if smaller) but you can always brew and then add a tea bag or more to achieve maximum flavor. Then chill and finish with your favorite fruit inspiration!
How to Make Instant Pot Raspberry Peach Iced Tea
Make tea the same as above, sweeten as desired.
Blend Raspberries and Peaches together in the food processor or blender. Run through a fine-mesh sieve if desired and incorporate it into the tea once it’s fully chilled.
How to Make Stovetop Iced Tea
Don’t have an Instant Pot or Ninja Foodi? WHY? Seriously get one, our IPs are the most used small appliance in the kitchen. But while you’re waiting for your IP to arrive you can easily make our Peach Iced Tea on the stovetop too!
Add the tea bags and baking soda to a heatproof pitcher and pour in 3 cups boiling water, allow the tea bags to steep for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes has passed, discard the tea bags and add the sweetener (if using) pour in remaining 7 cups water, and peach simple syrup, mix to combine fully. Serve with plenty of ice and garnish as desired.

How to Make Peach Iced Tea in the Instant Pot
Instant Pot Peach Iced Tea, Southern Peach Sweet Tea perfection! Peachy, sweet, and so refreshing! Versatile and ridiculously easy to make too. It's a lazy hot summer day with your feet propped up on the banister kind of iced tea.
- 10 cups (2.3 Liters) water, divided 3 cups + 7 cups
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 6 Iced Tea bags, family size
- 1/3 cup (170 grams) organic honey (optional), or sweetener of your choice + to taste
- 4 large ripe peaches, washed + peeled + halved + pitted + quartered
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) organic sugar,
- lemon, peach slices & fresh mint sprigs, for garnish
-
Bring sugar, water, and peaches to a boil in a small saucepan. Then lower heat and use a wooden spoon to stir and crush the peaches to infuse the flavor.
-
Once the sugar is dissolved, cover, remove from heat and let steep for 30 minutes. After cooling run through a fine-meshed sieve if desired or leave as is for a super peachy tea!
-
Meanwhile, add 3 cups water, baking soda and 6 tea bags to the Instant Pot insert, place the cover and lock into position. Set the vent to Sealing, then select Manual + High Pressure and set the timer to 5 minutes.
-
Allow the IP to do a Natural Release for 5 minutes, then do Quick Release to depressurize fully. Remove the tea bags and then add the organic honey or sweetener if using. Pour in the remaining 7 cups of water and allow the tea to chill completly before adding the peach simple syrup.
-
To serve, add the peach simple syrup to each glass as desired, or add all of the simple syrup to the tea and stir. We add it all at once for a no muss no fuss service.
- Prep time is approximate.
- Baking Soda makes a big difference in a pitcher of freshly brewed sweet tea. It neutralizes the tannins in tea and gives a balanced taste.

Thanks, Relle!
I’m so looking forward to making this! I do have a question. I sent my husband to the store for the tea bags, he brought home gallon size bags instead of family size. Do I need to adjust how many tea bags I use? I’ve never made tea before so I worry about messing it up.
Hi Lindsey! Depending on how strong you like your tea flavored I suggest 1-2 Gallon Sized Tea Bags to replace the 6 family size that I have listed in the recipe. If the tea is too strong for you with 2 you can simply adjust the flavor by adding a bit more cold water. Once you brew it, taste it and add water a little at a time until you are happy with the flavor. Looking forward to hearing how it turns out! 🙂
