Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
5 1/2 cups water, divided
1 1/2 cups white sugar
4 peaches – peeled, pitted, and sliced
1 cup freshly-squeezed lemon juice
4 peach-flavored tea bags (such as Celestial Seasonings Country Peach Passion®)
Directions
Stir together 1 1/2 cups water, sugar, and sliced peaches in a large pot. Bring to a simmer, and simmer until sugar is dissolved, the mixture is syrupy, and syrup is infused with peach flavor, about 10 minutes. Set syrup aside to cool, then strain off peaches; reserve peaches for another use.
Meanwhile, in another pot bring remaining 4 cups water to a boil. Turn heat off. Add tea bags; steep 4 to 6 minutes. Remove tea bags and discard.
Add lemon juice to syrup. To each glass add ice and 6 ounces brewed tea. Sweeten each glass to taste with 1 to 2 ounces lemon-peach syrup.
Cook's Note:
Use 4 to 5 peaches, depending on how large they are and how much peach flavor you want.
