Aka, The Peachy Palmer.
Ingredients
- 4 black tea bags (I used English Breakfast)
- 8-10 cups filtered water, divided
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 can peaches in water, drained
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 large peaches, sliced, plus more for garnish
- fresh mint leaves, for garnish
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. You can also do this in your kettle and pour the boiling water into a heatproof glass. Drop in the black tea bags and steep for 5 minutes. Discard the bags and let cool.
- Combine the sugar with 3/4 cup of water in a clean saucepan. Stir until dissolved, about 3-4 minutes. Let cool.
- Add the peaches to the bowl of a food processor or high-speed blender and puree and until smooth.
- In a large pitcher, combine the steeped tea, sugar syrup, peach puree, lemon juice, and 6 cups of water. Taste and add more water if the flavor is too strong. Drop in the sliced peaches, then cover and chill the pitcher for at least one hour to let the flavors meld.
- Divide the Palmer into glasses with some extra sliced peaches. Garnish with mint leaves. Ahhh, refreshing!
