Instructions
Peach Simple Syrup
It’s not necessary to peel peaches, just cut into wedges and discard the pit. However, the sweetened peach pieces left after straining the syrup are delicious stirred into yogurt. Place the peaches, lemon juice, and boiling water in a medium saucepan. Add the sugar and stir gently. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to maintain a very low simmer, cover, and cook for 30 minutes.
Remove from the heat. Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl to remove the solids.
Tea
Bring 4 cups water to a boil and add tea bags, lemon slices and ginger. Immediately turn off the heat and let this steep for about 7-10 minutes.
Strain the tea into a large pitcher for serving. Stir in the peach syrup.
Just before serving, add peach slices.
If making in advance, briefly soak peach slices in lemon juice or Fruit Fresh to prevent discolouring.
Pour into ice-filled glasses and serve.
