Ingredients:
- 4 cups water
- 4 of your favorite tea bags
- 2 ripe peaches, sliced
- 1/4 cup sugar (adjust to taste). Honestly, I would use Balsamic rather than sugar (Tracey's Tip)
- 1/4 cup Peach Balsamic Vinegar (from Little Shop of Olive Oils)
- Fresh mint leaves and sliced orange, for garnish
- Ice cubes
Instructions:
- Bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Remove from heat and add the tea bags. Let steep for about 5 minutes, or to your desired strength.
- Remove the tea bags and allow the tea to cool to room temperature.
- In a small saucepan, combine the sliced peaches and sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the peaches are soft and the sugar is dissolved, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
- Transfer the peach mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. If you prefer a smoother texture, strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove any solids.
- In a large pitcher, combine the brewed tea, peach puree, ice cubes, and Peach Balsamic Vinegar. Stir well to combine.
- Fill glasses with the peach tea.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves and a few extra peach slices.
