Instructions
To Make Peach Tea Simple Syrup
In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat bring sugar, water to a boil. Once sugar is dissolved remove from heat and add in tea bags, mint, and peaches. Use masher or back of a wooden spoon to help break down the peaches to incorporate their flavor.
Cover saucepan and let steep for 25 minutes.
Place mesh strainer on top of large bowl. Pour the contents of the saucepan in the strainer (letting the bowl collect the peach tea simple syrup). To get any excess juice, use the back of the wooden spoon to press against both the tea bag and the peaches. Store in an airtight container and refrigerate or use immediately.
