Step 2

Drop two Earl Grey tea bags into the hot water. Cover and steep for 5 minutes; do not steep the tea longer than the allotted time as it will impart a bitter taste to the smoothie.

Step 3

Remove tea bags, gently pressing down on them to extract as much liquid and flavour as possible. Discard tea bags and allow tea to cool to room temperature. 

Step 4

Open the third tea bag and empty the tea leaves into the cooled tea. Place the tea into the fridge to chill completely; 20 minutes.

Step 5

In a blender, place the peaches, frozen sliced bananas, cold Earl Grey tea, and Greek yogurt. Pulse a few times to combine the ingredients. Blend on high until smoothie is completely mixed.
