Peach Syrup:
Tea:
Bring syrup ingredients to boil. Then reduce heat to medium.
Crush peach slices as you stir to dissolve sugar.
Turn off heat cover and let sit for 30 minutes.
Boil water and brew tea letting steep 5 minutes.
Remove tea bags and refrigerate.
Strain syrup through a fine strainer to remove fruit pieces.
Add syrup to tea and serve over ice.
Enjoy!
You want to use ripe peaches for this recipe, because they are sweeter. First look at the color and choose the peaches that are brightly colored.
Then you need to feel your peaches too. Press gently near the top of the peach. If it just starts to give, it's ripe and ready to go.
It's best to store peaches at room temperature. Keep them in a single layer and with the stem side facing down.
Keep your peach tea in a pitcher with an airtight top, stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. (But I really doubt you won't drink it all before then!)
If you make a large batch at once, you can store your Sonic peach syrup in the refrigerator in a tightly sealed container for 1 - 2 weeks.
