Sparkling Peach Tea Recipes

SPARKLING PEACH TEA

Steps:

• Make the simple syrup: Combine the sugar and 1 cup water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and let cool completely. (It will make about 1 1/2 cups. Store extra syrup covered in the refrigerator up to 1 month.)
• Make the tea: Steep all the tea bags in 3 cups hot water for 10 minutes. Remove the bags and add 2 cups cold water. Put the chopped peach, 3/4 cup simple syrup and the lemon juice into a blender and puree until smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer. Stir together the peach-simple syrup mixture and the iced tea. Pour half of the peach tea into ice cube trays and freeze until solid. Refrigerate the remaining peach tea.
• Make the cocktails: Fill 6 tall glasses with the peach tea ice cubes. Divide the peach tea evenly among the glasses. Top each with the prosecco and a lemon slice and serve.

PEACH ICED TEA

Steps:

• Tip the sugar into a pan with 250ml water. Bring to the boil slowly, ensuring the sugar is fully dissolved. Add the chopped peaches and cook until very soft. Remove from the heat, mash the peaches with a fork, and leave to infuse for 1 hr.
• Sieve the syrup through a fine sieve into a jug, mashing the fruit to release all the liquid. The syrup will keep in the fridge for one week.
• Put the teabags in a large heatproof jug and pour over 2 litres boiling water. Leave to steep for 4 mins, then carefully remove the teabags. Leave to cool, then transfer to the fridge until chilled.
• Stir the peach syrup into the iced tea with some ice, or pour a little of the syrup into tall glasses and add the tea. Top up with more water, sparkling water or ice. Add peach slices to serve.
