→ Green Tea
01 - 2 green tea bags
02 - 2 cups hot water (about 175°F)
→ Peach Syrup
03 - 1 cup peach nectar or peach juice
04 - 2 tablespoons simple syrup or honey/agave (use plant-based syrup for vegan)
→ Lemonade
05 - 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4 lemons)
06 - 1/2 cup cold water
07 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
→ To Serve
08 - Ice cubes
09 - Fresh peach slices (optional)
10 - Mint leaves (optional)
# Steps:
01 - Steep the tea bags in 2 cups of hot water (about 175°F) for 2 to 3 minutes; remove bags and allow the infusion to cool to room temperature or chill in the refrigerator.
02 - In a pitcher combine 1 cup fresh lemon juice, 1/2 cup cold water and 1/4 cup granulated sugar; stir until the sugar is fully dissolved and taste-adjust if necessary.
03 - Whisk together 1 cup peach nectar and 2 tablespoons simple syrup (or honey/agave for a vegan version) until homogenous; use a blender-purée for a richer texture if preferred.
04 - Fill serving glasses with ice; pour equal parts cooled green tea, peach syrup and lemonade into each glass (approximately one-third of each liquid per serving) and stir gently to combine.
05 - Top with fresh peach slices and mint leaves if desired and serve immediately; for a sparkling variation, replace part of the cold water with sparkling water just before serving.
