Peach Simple Syrup
- 2 peaches sliced
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 lemon juiced
Instructions
Peach Simple Syrup
- Combine peaches, sugar, water, and lemon juice in a medium pot.
- Bring to a simmer and stir regularly for about 10 minutes, until sugar is completely dissolved and syrup is tinted rose from the peach skins.
- Strain through a fine sieve to remove any peach pulp, then set syrup aside to cool.
Iced Tea
- Bring 6 cups water almost to a boil, then remove from heat and add black tea. Steep for 10 minutes and remove tea bags.
- When simple syrup and tea have cooled, combine simple syrup, tea, and whiskey in a large pitcher.
- Refrigerate until chilled, or pour over ice to cool quickly. Garnish with a lemon slice and drink up!
Notes
If you don't have a fine sieve for the simple syrup, line a regular colander with wet paper towels.
Keep those peach slices! They're cooked nicely and extra-sweet, perfect over ice cream or in smoothies.
