Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup organic cane sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 ripe peaches thinly sliced (plus more for serving)
  • 2-3 Tbsp loose leaf black tea (or 3-4 tea bags)
  • 8 cups filtered water

Method
 

  1. Bring sugar, water, and peaches to a boil in a small saucepan. Then lower heat and use a wooden spoon to stir and crush the peaches to infuse the flavor.
  2. Once the sugar is dissolved, cover, remove from heat and let steep for 25-30 minutes.
  3. Brew your tea using either a large pot or a tea maker, ensuring not to steep longer than 4-5 minutes.
  4. Remove tea bags or strain out loose leaf tea and transfer to a pitcher. Refrigerate to cool.
  5. Pour the simple syrup into a bottle or container over a fine mesh strainer to strain out peaches.
  6. Serve the tea over ice with fresh sliced peaches, adding simple syrup to taste.

Notes

Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of simple syrup added to the tea.
