Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Refreshing Homemade Peach Tea.
Step 1
To create a delightful peach-infused tea, start by grabbing a small pot and combining one cup of water, one cup of white sugar, and two fresh peach slices.
Step 2
Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Step 3
Once it’s bubbling away, lower the heat to medium and let it simmer for about five minutes.
Step 4
As it simmers, take a spoon and gently crush the peach slices to release their sweet, juicy flavor into the syrup.
Step 5
After five minutes, remove the pot from the heat and cover it, allowing the peach slices to steep in the syrup for about 30 minutes.
Step 6
This step is crucial as it enhances the syrup's flavor profile, making it truly irresistible.
Step 7
Once the infusion time is up, strain the syrup to remove the peach slices and set the fragrant syrup aside.
Step 8
Next, in a medium pot, bring another cup of water to a boil.
Step 9
Once it’s bubbling, take it off the heat and add your favorite tea bags.
Step 10
Cover the pot and let the tea steep for about five minutes, allowing the flavors to develop beautifully.
Step 11
After steeping, remove the tea bags and stir in the luscious peach syrup you prepared earlier.
Step 12
This is where the magic happens, as the syrup adds a delightful sweetness and a hint of peachy goodness to your tea.
Step 13
Let the tea cool to room temperature before transferring it to the refrigerator to chill until you’re ready to serve.
Step 14
Enjoy this refreshing peach tea on a warm day or as a delightful treat any time you need a little pick-me-up!.
