# What You'll Need:
→ Peach Syrup
01 -
200 grams sugar, white and plain
02 -
240 millilitres water
03 -
300 grams frozen slices of peach
→ Iced Tea
04 -
240 millilitres peach syrup (and then some to tweak the taste)
05 -
Juice squeezed from 2 lemons
06 -
2 teaspoons baking soda
07 -
8 black tea bags
08 -
1.9 litres water
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Let your syrup cool all the way, about half an hour, right after simmering. Pull it off the stove so it doesn't keep cooking.
02 -
Heat up about 950 millilitres of water in your medium pot. Drop in the tea bags. Let them hang out there for 5 minutes so they get nice and strong.
03 -
Strain that peachy syrup through a mesh sieve. Toss out what's left, unless you want it as a topping or a snack on the side.
04 -
Dump the other 950 millilitres of cold water right into a big ol' pitcher. Take out the tea bags. Give 'em a gentle squeeze to get every last drop. Add the brewed tea.
05 -
Pour in a good spoonful of baking soda, your fresh lemon juice, and some syrup. Sweeten it up with extra syrup if you're into that. Pop it in the fridge until it's nice and cold, at least an hour. Pour over ice and toss in some lemon slices if you feel like it.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
You can totally use extra peaches from the syrup in your glass, or throw them on dessert for something different.
