In this article, GC Food will share two peach tea recipes that hit just the right spot the moment you take a sip.
1. Classic Peach Tea with Nata de Coco
Peach tea with nata de coco has been a crowd favorite thanks to its cooling flavor that really takes the heat away. GC Food has a recipe that is sure to keep the peach slices chewy and the coconut jelly deliciously chewy.
1.1 Ingredients
These ingredients make 4-5 servings:
Fresh peaches: 1 kg (choose yellow, firm peaches, free of bruises)
Nata de coco: 200g (using GC Food coconut jelly will make the drink even tastier)
Tea bags: 2 (black tea or peach-flavored tea works best)
Sugar: 400g
Lemon: ½
Salt: 1 tbsp
Ice cubes
Besides the ingredients, you’ll also need some kitchen tools such as a pot, knife, cutting board, a clean, sterilized glass jar, glasses, spoons, and other essentials.
1.2 Directions
Once you’ve got all ready, it’s time to make a glass of peach tea with chewy nata de coco in these 4 easy steps:
1.2.1 Step 1: Prepare the peaches
Start by washing the peaches with 1.5 liters of water mixed with 1 tablespoon of salt.
Then peel and cut them into bite-sized wedges, drop them into the salted water as you go to prevent browning.
Let them soak for 10-15 minutes, then drain, rinse a couple of times with clean water to remove the salt. Finally, pat them dry.
1.2.2 Step 2: Soak the peaches
In a pot, heat 200ml of water and 400g of sugar over medium, gently swirling the pot to dissolve, no stirring.
Once caramelized, add the remaining 800ml of water and heat until it boils again.
When it’s boiling, toss in the drained peaches and cook for 5-7 minutes over medium heat until slightly translucent.
To keep them chewy, immediately drop the peaches into ice water and let them cool completely.
Add half a lemon to the leftover syrup, stir, then turn off the heat and set aside to cool completely.
Finally, put everything into a clean glass jar and seal the lid tightly. Store in the fridge for 1-2 days before serving.
1.2.3 Step 3: Make the peach tea
Steep 2 tea bags in 150ml of hot water (~90°C) for 5-7 minutes, then remove the bags.
Add 200g of GC Food nata de coco, cutting any big chunks into small cubes or bite-sized pieces.
1.2.4 Assemble
Add ice to about 2/3 of a glass, then spoon in the coconut jelly. Pour in 100ml of the brewed tea and drizzle 3-4 tablespoons of the peach syrup on top. Taste test and adjust the syrup to your liking.

2. Peach Tea with coconut jelly and Milk
Peach tea is already refreshing, but adding a little creamy milk and chewy nata de coco makes it a real thirst-quenching treat. GC Food’s recipe uses pre-packaged nata de coco, so it saves a lot of time.

These ingredients are enough for 4 servings. You’ll need:
Tea bags: 4 (black or peach-flavored)

Nata de coco: 200–280g (GC Food coconut jelly is recommended)
Sweetened condensed milk: 4 tablespoons

Ice cubes
You’ll also need some basic tools like a large teapot or jug, glasses, straws, spoons, and a shaker if you have one.
2.2 Directions
The recipe is straightforward, with just 2 easy steps, and you’ll have 4 refreshing peach tea glasses in no time.
2.2.1 Step 1: Make the peach tea
Put 4 peach tea bags (or loose tea) into a large cup or teapot. Pour in 600ml of hot water and stir well. If you’re using tea bags, let them steep for 5 minutes, then remove them.
2.2.2 Assemble
