Description
A refreshing peach iced black tea made with ripe peaches and brewed black tea, perfect for hot days.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 black tea bags
- 4 cups boiling water
- 3 large peaches (ripe)
- 2 cups water
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar (use 1/2 cup for a sweeter tea)
Instructions
- Bring 4 cups of a light simmer in a pot on the stove or in an electric kettle.
- Remove from heat, add in the tea bags making sure they’re fully submerged then let those steep for 5 minutes. Carefully remove them and let the black tea cool down before transferring to the fridge to chill.
- In a blender, place 1 cup water, sugar, and the chopped peaches. Blend for 2-3 seconds, just enough to break them down then pour the mixture into a large pot. Top it off with the rest of the water (1 cup) and heat up on the stove medium heat.
- Bring to a boil then reduce to simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit and steep for 30 more minutes.
- Sieve the syrup through a fine sieve into a large pitcher or a jar, make sure to press down on the peach puree to get all the juice out. Let it chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
- Combine the black tea and the peach syrup together in a large pitcher. Stir to combine, then top it off with ice and serve. Add peach slices to decorate and serve.
Notes
- For a sweeter tea, increase the sugar to 1/2 cup.
- Chill the tea before serving for the best flavor.
