First drink of the blog had to be something I love. Perfect drink made from the perfect summer fruit.
This recipe serves 2
Ingredients:
4 fresh peaches
Honey/sugar
Water
Tea leaves
Recipe:
Dice peaches and put them in a pan filled with boiling water and sugar. You can alternatively add honey as a substitute of sugar. Reduce it in the pan until sugar dissolves and then take a spoon and crush the peaches into the liquid, essentially making a fruit compote. Take it off the heat and cover with a lid and let it steep for half an hour.
Boil 2.5 glasses of water and add a pinch of tea leaves. Remember to add less as they really tend to overpower the peachy flavour and it ends up resulting in an iced tea with hints of peach rather than a peach iced tea. You can modify the amount of tea leaves as pe your taste.
Post half hour, sieve the syrup of the peaches and refrigerate both the syrup and tea. At this stage you can mix the two and save them too to avoid mixing later on.
Serve with the retained slices of pear and some fresh ice and your peach iced tea is ready to drink! 🙂
