Chilled Peach Lemon Tea (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Peach Syrup
01 -
200 grams white sugar
02 -
240 millilitres water
03 -
300 grams frozen peaches
→ Iced Tea
04 -
240 millilitres peach syrup, or toss in a splash more if you want it sweeter
05 -
Juice from 2 lemons
06 -
2 teaspoons baking soda
07 -
8 black tea bags
08 -
1.9 litres water
# Instructions:
01 -
Toss frozen peaches, sugar, and water into a small pot. Cook over medium flame for about 10 minutes, stirring once in a while. Let it cool right down for half an hour or so when you’re done.
02 -
Push the syrup through a fine sieve to catch the chunks. You can throw away the peach bits or keep ‘em for some extra flair.
03 -
Heat up 950 millilitres of water in a medium pot till it’s boiling. Drop in the tea bags and let them sit and steep for 5 minutes.
04 -
Pour the rest of the cold water—another 950 millilitres—into a pitcher that holds 2 litres. Squeeze those tea bags before tossing them. Move the fresh tea to the pitcher.
05 -
Sprinkle in baking soda, lemon juice, and peach syrup. Want it sweeter? Pour in a bit more syrup. Pop the pitcher in the fridge for at least an hour. Add some ice when you serve. Lemon slices on top work great if you need a garnish.
# Notes:
01 -
Hang onto those cooked peaches and drop them into glasses for a bit of fruit or pile them onto your favorite dessert.
