Té dulce sureño de melocotón

Ingredientes

• 4 black tea bags
• 6 cups boiling water
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup water
• 2 medium ripe peaches, pitted and diced
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• Ice cubes
• Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Preparación

1. 1

   Brew the Tea: Place the 4 black tea bags into 6 cups of boiling water. Allow the tea to steep for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until it reaches your desired strength. Remove the tea bags and let the tea cool to room temperature.

2. 2

   Prepare the Peach Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar has completely dissolved, creating a simple syrup. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

3. 3

   Mash the Peaches: Place the diced peaches into a bowl and lightly mash them with a fork or potato masher to release their juices, but keep some chunks for texture.

4. 4

   Combine Ingredients: In a large pitcher, mix the brewed black tea, peach syrup, mashed peaches, and 1/4 cup lemon juice. Stir well to combine all flavors evenly.

5. 5

   Chill the Tea: Refrigerate the mixture until it is thoroughly chilled, about 1 to 2 hours, to allow the flavors to meld together.

6. 6

   Serve: Fill glasses with ice cubes, pour the chilled peach tea over the ice, and garnish with fresh mint leaves and peach slices for a beautiful and flavorful presentation.
