Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Ripe peaches
- 2 tbsp Sugar (optional or to taste)
- 4 count Black tea bags
- 8 cups Water
- 2 cups Ice cubes
Instructions
Wash and peel the peaches. Cut them into slices, removing the pits.
In a medium saucepan, combine the peach slices, sugar, and 1 cup of water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes until the peaches are soft and the mixture becomes syrupy.
Remove the saucepan from heat. Use a blender or immersion blender to purée the peach mixture, then strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove pulp, leaving a smooth peach syrup.
In a large pot or heat-safe pitcher, bring 7 cups of water to a boil. Add the black tea bags and steep for 5 minutes, or longer for a stronger tea.
Remove the tea bags and let the tea cool for a few minutes at room temperature.
Once cool, stir in the peach syrup until well combined.
Refrigerate the peach tea for at least 1 hour to chill. Serve over ice cubes in glasses and garnish with peach slices if desired.
