Iced Peach Green Tea Lemonade (Low-Sugar Starbucks Copycat)

Nothing says summer like a refreshing iced tea drink on a hot day. One of my all-time favorites is the Starbucks iced peach green tea lemonade, but I personally don’t love the price tag or the sugar content.

As a Registered Dietitian I’m definitely not anti-sugar, but lower sugar drinks just leave me feeling better, so I tend to opt for them. This copycat Starbucks peach green tea has all the same delicious, citrusy sweet flavors without as much sugar (this version only has 2 grams of sugar).

If you’re looking for a refreshing, feel-good drink to sip all summer, this one’s going to be on repeat. Let’s make it.

Your New Go-To: Iced Peach Green Tea Lemonade

• It’s a true Starbucks dupe! Just with less sugar and no mystery ingredients. You’ll get all the flavor, none of the extras you don’t need.
• Only two ingredients. No syrup-making, no fancy equipment. Simply a quick stir and you’re sipping.
• Lower in caffeine. An 8-oz serving of green tea only has about 35 mg of caffeine. This recipe calls for 16 oz, but you can adjust the amount as needed.
• Light, fruity, and super refreshing. This is the kind of drink that instantly cools you down on a hot day.
• Easy to batch for parties or prep ahead. Mix a pitcher and keep it in the fridge. It only gets better as the flavors meld.
• Customizable. Add fresh mint, a splash of sparkling water, or even a little honey if you like it sweeter.

Iced tea lovers, I promise, you’ll find yourself reaching for this easy recipe all summer long. And if you love iced drinks, be sure to check out my Strawberry Green Tea too!

What You’ll Need

• Peach-Flavored Green Tea: Personally, I love the Bigelow brand and these tea bags are the ones I always grab. These are also a great option. I love using the peach-infused tea bags because they give you the same peach flavor without the added sugar of using peach juice.
• Lemonade: You can grab any pre-made lemonade that you enjoy, but I like to use a low-sugar version. The Simply Light Lemonade from Simply Lemonade is my favorite. Or, True Lemon lemonade packets or Minute Maid Zero Sugar lemonade. You can use your own homemade lemonade too!

Seriously, that’s it! Could it be any easier?

Variation Ideas

One of the best parts about this green tea lemonade recipe is that it’s SO customizable. Here are some of my favorite ways to change it up.

• Add real fruit. Toss in fresh peach slices, frozen peach chunks, or even a handful of freeze-dried peaches or strawberries for extra flavor and texture.
• Use peach juice or syrup. No peach tea bags? Sub in a splash of real peach juice or a drizzle of peach syrup with plain green or black tea.
• Turn up the citrus. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice along with the lemonade for extra brightness.
• Try different teas. This recipe works great with black tea, white tea, or whatever you love. Just adjust steep time and caffeine accordingly.
• Make your own lemonade. If you’re out, just mix fresh lemon juice with a teaspoon or two of honey, maple syrup, or simple syrup.
• Batch it. Double the recipe and store a pitcher in the fridge. It’ll keep for 2–3 days and tastes even better after chilling.

How to Make Iced Peach Green Tea Lemonade

• Brew the tea. Steep 16 oz of peach-flavored green tea according to the package directions. Let it cool to room temperature.
• Build your drink. Fill a large mason jar or tall glass with ice. Pour in the cooled green tea and a splash of lemonade. Stir gently, or shake it up in a cocktail shaker for an extra chilled version.
• Serve and sip. Garnish with fresh peach slices or lemon wedges if you want to get fancy. Then sit back and enjoy.
