I used to be within the strategy of boiling water to make tea for my kombucha after I took place this peach iced tea recipe. The picture appeared so refreshing!
I occurred to have a basket of contemporary native peaches and a brand new batch of peppermint peaking in my backyard. For sure, my “bucha” tea was postponed.
In quarter-hour, I had one cup of easy syrup and two quarts of orange pekoe tea. I used 12 grams of tea, (6 tea baggage) and 4 grams of contemporary peppermint. My mint was younger and the sprigs have been small so I had 15 leaves. I additionally didn’t use the tied cheesecloth technique for infusing as I’ve a number of infusers that have been acceptable.
I had began slicing a peach, then realized I used to be not going to wish it till my brew was chilled. That gave me the concept to experiment with the lower peach as a easy syrup flavouring. I eliminated 1/2 cup of the easy syrup and added 40 grams of chopped peach and chilled.
When it got here to flavouring and garnishing the iced tea, I adopted the recipe. Every glass of the iced tea wanted 1 to 2 teaspoons of the easy syrup. This half is basically a person choice. Not surprisingly, the easy syrup with the lower peach gave the peach flavour within the tea a lift earlier than floating the contemporary peach slices.
Each strategies have been scrumptious with only a trace of mint and peach in a strong tea flavour. For an additional hit of peach, I’d suggest flavouring the easy syrup. Say “Cheers!” with this tremendous clear, peachy, and refreshing iced tea!
