Put 500 ml Cold water, 3 Peaches and 3 tablespoon Honey into a pan and bring to the boil. Simmer for about 15 minutes, until the peach skin starts to come off.
Meanwhile, add 2 Tea bags to the 1000 ml Boiling water and leave to steep for 10 minutes. Remove the tea bags and allow the tea to cool.
Put a fine sieve over a bowl and pour the peach mixture in. Using a wooden spoon, mash down the peaches into a pulp, so as much juice goes through the sieve into the water in the bowl.
You will be left with delicious peach water. Don’t throw the pulp away, as it can be added to smoothies or our Homemade BBQ Sauce.
Pour the tea in to a jug and put in the fridge to cool.
Top up with the peach water and add lots of Ice cubes.
Notes
This isn't an overly sweet iced tea, as we used just a couple of tablespoons of honey, but feel free to use more if you like a really sweet tea. You can use maple syrup instead too.
We used black tea bags for this, however you could use a flavoured tea or a green tea.
Want to make an adult version of this? A splash of white or spiced dark rum is really good.
This can be made in advance and then kept in the fridge.
The addition of herbs is lovely in this too. Thyme and mint are my favourites to add, as they go really well with peaches.
Depending on how ripe your peaches are, you may want to adjust the sweetness.
