Olive Garden Peach Iced Tea
Description
Olive Garden Peach Iced Tea starts by steeping three iced tea bags in six cups of hot water, then allowing them to brew for about five minutes. To make the peach syrup from scratch, sugar and water are boiled and then removed from heat. Fresh sliced peaches are steeped in the hot syrup for around 30 minutes before straining out the peaches, leaving a peach-infused syrup to sweeten the tea.
The brewed iced tea and peach syrup are combined—using 8 ounces of syrup with 2 quarts of tea—and stirred well. Serving with fresh peach slices adds extra flavor and a pleasant presentation. The drink balances the earthiness of the tea with the sweet, fruity note of peaches, creating a lightly sweetened summer beverage.
This recipe allows using pre-made peach syrup for convenience or homemade syrup for fresh peach flavor. Refrigerating syrup after preparation helps maintain its freshness. The final drink is suitable for hot days or casual gatherings.
