Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium (ripe) peaches
- 1 large lemon
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 4 cups water
- 2 cups unsweetened tea
- 2 cups club soda
- 1 cups peach nectar
- 8 leaves fresh mint leaves
- 2 cups ice cubes
- 8 slices (for garnish) peach slices
- 4 sprigs (for garnish) mint sprigs
Instructions
Wash the peaches and slice them into wedges, discarding the pits.
In a medium saucepan, combine the peach slices, granulated sugar, and 2 cups of water.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is dissolved.
Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. The peaches should become soft and fragrant.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large mixing bowl or pitcher, pressing the peaches to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the solids.
Squeeze the juice from the lemon and add it to the strained peach syrup.
Pour the remaining 2 cups of water, unsweetened tea, peach nectar, and club soda into the peach syrup. Stir gently to combine.
Add the fresh mint leaves and refrigerate the punch for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld.
Before serving, add ice cubes to the punch and stir gently.
Pour the peach punch into glasses and garnish each serving with a peach slice and a sprig of mint.
