PEACH ICED TEA

Steps:

• Combine the sugar, water, and diced peaches in a small saucepan set over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil and stir to break up the peaches.
• Once the sugar has dissolved, remove the pan from the heat and set it aside to cool for 15 minutes.
• Strain the syrup through a mesh sieve to remove any large pieces of peach. Make sure to press the peaches into the sieve to extract any extra juice.
• Transfer the syrup to an airtight container and store in the fridge until ready to use, or up to three days.
• Add the tea bag to a large pitcher, along with the boiling water and simple syrup.
• Allow the tea to steep for 5 minutes. Then, remove the tea bags and stir.
• Fill the pitcher with ice and top with thinly sliced peach. Serve immediately.
• If you don't plan on serving immediately, make the tea through step 2 and store it in the fridge. Then continue with step 3 when you're ready to serve.
• If you prefer to let everyone sweeten their drinks to taste, serve the tea and syrup separately and mix directly into the glass to taste (I use about 2 teaspoons of syrup per glass of tea).
