PREP TIME: 10 minutes

COOK TIME: 5 minutes

TOTAL TIME: 15 minutes

SERVINGS: 8 SERVINGS

​

Ingredients
5-6 regular tea bags, (I use Lipton)
1 quart water
1 (15 oz) can peaches in juice, pureed in blender
1 quart cold water

Simple Syrup:
1 cup water
1 cup granulated white sugar

Instructions
Boil one quart of water in a large pot. Add tea bags and steep for 3-5 minutes. Remove tea bags and discard.

While tea is steeping, prepare simple syrup: in a separate small saucepan, combine one cup of water and one cup of sugar and bring to a boil. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Pour simple syrup into pot with tea and stir. In a heat-safe pitcher, combine the tea with pureed peaches, and one quart of cold water. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Serve tea over ice with fresh mint and peach slices if desired. Enjoy!
