Peach Iced Tea
Peach Iced Tea combines brewed black tea with a peach-flavored simple syrup and pureed canned peaches to create a sweetened, fruity iced beverage. The tea is steeped strong and cooled before mixing with syrup and peach puree, resulting in a refreshing, balanced drink with bright tea notes and a noticeable peach aroma and taste.
