Ingredients
- 3 large fresh peaches
- 0.5 cup sugar
- 8 cups water
- 4 units black tea bags
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0 as needed ice cubes
- 0 for garnish fresh mint
Directions
Step 1
Pit and slice the peaches, then place them in a medium saucepan. Add sugar and 2 cups of water. Stir to combine.
Step 2
Over medium heat, bring the peach and sugar mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves completely. Simmer for about 10-15 minutes or until the peaches are very soft and fragrant.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool slightly. Once cooled, blend the peach mixture until smooth using an immersion blender or a regular blender. Strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove the pulp, yielding a peach syrup.
Step 4
In a large pot, bring the remaining 6 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, remove the pot from heat and add the black tea bags. Let the tea steep for 5-6 minutes, then remove the tea bags.
Step 5
Mix the peach syrup into the brewed tea. Stir in the lemon juice for added brightness and flavor.
Step 6
Refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour or until chilled. Serve over a glass full of ice cubes.
Step 7
Garnish with fresh mint leaves for an additional refreshing touch. Stir before serving to ensure the peach syrup is well integrated.
