There is something extra refreshing about Peach Iced Tea, and it is one of my favorite drinks to get at Olive Garden.
Today, I have a copycat recipe for Olive Garden Peach Iced Tea to share with you. Now we will all be enjoying fresh homemade peach iced tea this summer. After all, Peach Iced Tea goes just as great with grilled foods and many other cuisines, as it does with the Italian fare it is served with at Olive Garden.

I am so excited that you posted this! It is my favorite drink from Olive Garden as well. I don't think I have ever eaten there and not ordered it. Now I get to make it at home!
Lizzy says
After working at OG I can say this is way better than what goes into it at the OG. Fresh and tasty!
CarolCakes says
we make tea like this, but add some fresh mint to the syrup
Alison says
Oo Olive Garden's peach tea is my absolute fav! I'll definitely have to give this a try! 🙂
Kathi Adams says
Are you using regular tea bags or family size?
Robin Gagnon says
Regular tea bags.
Devan says
The tea there is actually a raspberry/peach tea but usually just say peach tea since that's what people know it by. They use a syrup that you can buy for $7 at the restaurant that lasts forever ! Well worth it.
Parker says
Are these family sized reabags or the smaller ones?
Parker says
Nevermind. I didn't realize the other comments were hidden at first. Thanks.
Robin Gagnon says
Yeah, they can get overwhelming on some articles, so I don't have them showing by default.
Toni says
Two questions: 1: what kind of tea bags? and 2: is it possible to use frozen peaches when peaches aren't in season? Thanks!
Robin Gagnon says
Yes, frozen peaches are fine and standard black tea bags.
Leta Sullivan says
Can I use can Peaches since the peach syrup in the can to make peach ice tea? Love the tea when me and friend go to Olive Garden for lunch and we order Peach ice tea all the time.
Robin Gagnon says
Why not give it a whirl... though, I would try the jarred peaches instead of canned. Those always taste "tinny" to me.
Lisa Painter says
How many servings does this recipe make?
Robin Gagnon says
7-8 servings of iced tea
Katherine Hall says
How long can I keep the syrup before using it!
Robin Gagnon says
It should last in the fridge for awhile.
Jackie says
Wonder how frozen peaches would work???
Robin Gagnon says
I think they would work just fine, and this time of year the quality of fresh isn't so hot... at least on my area.
Marisela says
So refreshing. Used some Georgia peaches too! I took the left over peaches and made a peach cake with. Disnt want to waste any part of my peaches! Thank you
Erin says
I worked for Olive Garde. All you have to do is buy Monin brand peach raspberry syrup. And pour the whole bottle into 3 gallons of peach tea. Then put frozen peaches in there. That's it. The syrup has sugar in it.
Steve says
Pour the syrup into peach tea or regular tea?
Denise says
Very easy and definitely good. I also drained the peaches after cooking and warmed them later. We used them on fresh biscuits as a jam. Soooo good. The tea is so refreshing.
