1

Prepare the Peach Syrup

In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, 1 cup of sugar, and 2 ripe peaches (pitted and chopped). Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the peaches soften and the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and allow the syrup to cool.

2

Brew the Tea

In a large heatproof pitcher, add 4 cups of hot water and 4 tea bags (regular black tea or your favorite fruity tea). Let the tea steep for about 5-7 minutes, or until it reaches your desired strength. Remove the tea bags and discard them.

3

Add the Peachy Flavor

Once the tea has cooled to room temperature, add the peach syrup you prepared earlier. Stir well to combine the flavors and give it a taste. Feel free to add more syrup if you want it extra peachy!

4

Chill and Serve

Place your pitcher in the refrigerator and let the Perfect Peach Iced Tea chill for at least 1-2 hours, or until it's nice and cold. When you're ready to serve, fill a glass with ice cubes and pour in the refreshing tea. Garnish with a slice of peach or a sprig of mint, if desired.
