Ingredients
Tea Base
- 1 bag Black Tea
- 600 ml Water
Fruit and Sweetener
- 6 halves Canned Peach
- 3 tbsp Simple Syrup
Garnish
- Fresh Mint (for garnish)
- Ice (as needed)
Instructions
- Prepare the Peaches: Dice 4 halves of canned peach into small pieces for mixing, and slice the remaining 2 halves for garnish. Set aside.
- Brew the Tea: Bring 200 ml of water to a boil then pour over the black tea bag. Allow it to steep for 10 minutes to extract a strong, flavorful tea.
- Combine Tea and Water: Remove the tea bag from the brewed tea, then add the remaining 400 ml of water to dilute the tea to the desired strength.
- Assemble the Drink: In each serving glass, place half of the diced peaches and 3 tablespoons of simple syrup. Add ice until the glass is half full.
- Add Garnishes and Fill: Add sliced peaches and fresh mint to the glass, and then add ice until the glass is full.
- Final Touch and Serve: Garnish the top with additional sliced peach and fresh mint leaves. Serve the peach iced tea immediately for a cold, refreshing beverage.
Notes
- Use canned peaches that are packed in juice or light syrup for best flavor.
- Adjust the amount of simple syrup based on your preferred sweetness level.
- Steeping the tea longer intensifies the tea flavor but avoid over-steeping to prevent bitterness.
- This recipe serves 2 but can be easily scaled up for larger quantities.
- For a chilled drink faster, you can refrigerate the brewed tea before assembling.
