Easy Peach Tea Recipe
Peach Syrup:

- Tea:
- 3 tea bags (try using a Keemun, a Dragon Well Green, or for extra peach flavor, try Paradise Peach Black tea)
- 6 cups water
To Make:
Bring syrup ingredients to a boil. Then reduce heat to medium. Crush peach slices as you stir to dissolve sugar. Turn off heat, cover and let sit for 30 minutes. Boil water and then add tea. Let tea steep for 5 minutes. Remove tea bags and refrigerate. Next, strain the syrup through a fine strainer, and add syrup to tea. Serve over ice.
