  • Remove from heat and allow to cool completely. To speed this process up you can stick it in the refrigerator. Then remove the peaches from the syrup either by hand or by using a strainer.

  • While the sugar/peach mixture is cooling, bring 4 cups of water to a boil, then steep your 8 black tea bags for 5 minutes. Remove tea bags after the 5 minutes is up and refrigerate until cold.

Notes

Tips and Tricks
  • Depending on how sweet you like your tea you may want to add more or less sugar.
  • I prefer my peach syrup strained but you can leave the pieces of cooked peaches in the syrup if you like.
  • Steeping the tea bags for only 5 minutes prevents the tea from becoming bitter.
