Ingredients:

For the rooibos iced tea:

• 4 cups of filtered water
• 4 tsp loose rooibos tea

For the peach simple syrup:

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup water
• 2 cups chopped fresh peaches

For the sparkling peach iced tea:

• ice
• Seltzer, optional
• fresh peach slices, garnish
• fresh mint, garnish

Directions:

Step 1

Place 4 tsp of rooibos tea into a pitcher, then add 4 cups of boiling filtered water. Let it steep for five minutes, then strain the tea out through a sieve. Pour the tea back into the pitcher and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until completely chilled. Next, for the peach simple syrup, chop a couple of ripe peaches into pieces, then put 1 cup of sugar into a saucepan as well as 1 cup of water. Add the peaches, turn the heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil. Stir around and let it cook for about 20 minutes, mashing up the peaches as you go until the liquid is pink and the fruit looks a bit jammy.

Step 2

Strain the peach syrup through a sieve, stirring it all around to let the liquid completely drain out from the peaches. Put the peach simple syrup into a jar and let it cool to room temperature, then chill in the fridge as well. Now, to make the iced tea, add some ice to a glass, then fill it three-quarters of the way up with your cold tea. Add a few tablespoons of the peach simple syrup (or as much as you like.) Add a splash of seltzer water to make it sparkling, then give it a good stir. Garnish with a slice of peach and a sprig of fresh mint.
