Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Black tea bags
- 4 cups Water
- 1 cup Peach nectar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Simple syrup
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional for garnish)
- 4 slices Lemon slices (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized pot, bring 4 cups of water to a gentle boil.
Remove the pot from heat and add the black tea bags. Allow them to steep for 5 minutes.
While the tea is steeping, prepare your simple syrup if not already made. Combine equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan, heat over medium, and stir until fully dissolved. Once done, let it cool.
After 5 minutes, remove the tea bags from the pot and let the tea cool to room temperature.
In a large pitcher, combine the brewed tea, peach nectar, lemon juice, and simple syrup. Stir well until everything is mixed thoroughly.
Fill serving glasses with ice cubes and pour the Tuscan Tea mixture over the ice.
Garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves and a lemon slice, if desired, for a touch of elegance.
Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing taste of Tuscan Tea!
