Wow, Middie, this sounds like a really good recipe. I LOVE tea and peaches, so this is a good combo. One question though: It wouldn't matter if I used de-caf tea would it? Kind of a dumb question, but hey, someone's gotta as 'em.

That sounds great, middie! Snapple peach iced tea has always been my favorite so I'll have to try this. Your recipe reminded me of this one:

Peach Ice Cubes

4 peaches, peeled and pitted
1/3 c sugar
1 Tbsp lemon juice


Puree the peaches and combine with the sugar and lemon juice. Mix well until smooth. Pour mixture into ice cube trays and freeze until solid.

Serve with cold summer drinks like lemonade, iced tea, or cocktails.

That tea sounds great. I think Lipton, from what I recall, makes a really good raspberry tea. It's a bit too sweet for me, but when you ice it down or add water, it's more suitable for me. Peach tea, though, yummmmm.

Thanks for posting! I love peach snapple ice tea and have looked around for a copycat recipe, but this sounds WAY better with fresh peaches and all!
