Fresh Peach Iced Tea

Steps

  1. Put the sliced peaches, sugar and 1 cup of water in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Simmer, mashing the peaches with a spoon now and then, until they are very soft and the liquid is syrupy.
  3. Take the syrup off the heat and let it cool.
  4. While the syrup cools, bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a second saucepan or kettle.
  5. Turn off the heat, add the tea bags and steep.
  6. Lift out the tea bags without squeezing them.
  7. Set a fine-mesh strainer over a pitcher and pour the peach syrup through it, pressing on the fruit with a spatula. Discard the pulp.
