    Starbucks Peach Black Tea Lemonade FAQs

    Do I have to use simple syrup to sweeten the iced tea?

    The main reason for using it is that regular white or brown sugar won’t dissolve in cold liquids, so you need something liquid instead. Feel free to use another kind of liquid sweetener or even a splash of regular or sugar free coffee syrup. If you don’t want to sweeten your black or green tea lemonade you can simply omit the sweetener altogether.

    Should I use tea bags or loose tea to make the iced tea?

    This’s completely up to you. I like to make tea in advance, using tea bags, then keep it refrigerated, so I can drink it as it is or whip up iced peach green tea or black tea whenever that craving hits!

    Do I have to strain the mixture?

    Straining removes pulp and skins, making the drink smoother and easier to sip.

      5. Since we don’t have starbucks in italy I don’t have a clue what the real thing does taste like BUT peach sweet tea is my fave and I’ve never tried to make it myself so I’ll have to try this. Thanks for the tip on the sugar syrup, it makes more sense than using sugar in a cold beverage
