Ingredients

  • 1 family-size black tea bag
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup honey
  • 4 cups frozen peaches, thawed and pureed
  • 5 cups water, divided
  • Extra frozen peach slices for garnish

Instructions

  • Bring 3 cups water to a boil. Add the tea bag, steep for 5–7 minutes, then remove and discard the bag.
  • In a saucepan, combine pureed peaches, sugar, honey, and 2 cups water. Cook over medium heat 10–15 minutes until syrup is smooth and thick.
  • Strain syrup (optional) for a pulp-free texture. Cool the syrup and brewed tea separately.
  • In a pitcher, mix cooled tea with peach syrup. Serve over ice with peach garnishes.

Notes

Use ripe, thawed frozen peaches for best flavor. Adjust sweetness to taste. Straining the syrup ensures a silky texture.
