Essential Ingredients- 4 cups water
- 4 black tea bags
- Ice
Peach Syrup Ingredients- 3 nectarines
- 2 cups water
- 2 cups sugar
- 3 nectarines
- 2 cups water
- 2 cups sugar
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
In a pitcher, combine 4 cups of water and 4 black tea bags. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the tea to steep and develop a rich flavor. Ensure the tea bags are submerged. Once steeped, remove the tea bags to avoid a bitter taste.
Step 2
To make the peach syrup, thoroughly wash 3 nectarines, remove the pits, and chop them into bite-sized pieces. In a saucepan, combine the chopped nectarines, 2 cups of water, and 2 cups of sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the peaches are soft and the sugar has dissolved into a syrupy consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. After simmering, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the peach solids, leaving a smooth syrup. Allow the syrup to cool completely. You can store leftover syrup in the refrigerator.
Step 3
Now, let’s assemble your delicious peach iced tea! Fill a glass with plenty of ice. Pour a generous amount of the cooled peach syrup over the ice. Finally, carefully pour in the steeped black tea. Gently stir to combine the syrup and tea. Your homemade peach iced tea, bursting with real peach flavor and the subtle notes of black tea, is ready to be enjoyed! For an extra touch, consider adding a slice of lemon or a sprig of mint.
