It's been a hot summer now, the temperature doesn't go down, and I keep experimenting with soft drinks. One of the results of the experiments was cold peach tea. At first I tried to infuse tea for peach slices, but the use of peach syrup turned out to be much more effective, it turns out to be a fantastically tasty and refreshing drink. The syrup can also be used for lemonades. Everything is very simple, as always.

For 4 servings you need:

• 3 cups hot boiled water
• 3 tsp black tea (or 3 bags)
• 2 medium peaches
• 0.5 cup sugar
• 0.5 cups of water
• ice cubes

Wash and dry the peaches. Cut one into small cubes and set aside the other.

Put sugar, crushed peach and 0.5 cups of water in a saucepan (ladle or small saucepan). Bring to a boil over low heat and cook for 3 minutes.

Strain the syrup through a sieve, pressing down on the peach pieces with a spoon. The pomace can be used for porridge or ice cream, for example. To let the syrup cool, to cool it down quickly, you can carefully submerge the saucepan with the syrup into a larger pot of cold water so that it reaches the middle of the saucepan.

Brew tea in 3 cups hot water, cool. As soon as the tea is brewed to the desired strength, its leaves or bags must be removed so that the tea does not develop bitterness.

Mix tea and syrup in a jug, mix well. You can send it to the refrigerator until required or serve immediately. When serving, add the reserved peach cut into slices and ice cubes.

It makes a wonderful rich tea. If you like a lighter and more unobtrusive taste, you can add more cold water or tea.

Cold peach tea quenches thirst very well, which is extremely valuable in hot weather.

Enjoy your meal!

Then strain the mixture, separating the flavoring components. Pieces of peaches can be eaten or used to serve a drink. The resulting peach tea concentrate can be stored in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.

Dilute the concentrated mixture to your liking by adding another 400-600 ml of chilled boiled water.

Taste and aroma of peach oolong

Not only the use of peach juice as a flavoring agent, but also the presence of jasmine flowers in the composition adds a special sophistication to this tea. It is they that give refinement and tenderness to the aroma of tea, harmoniously complementing the persistent, slightly sweet-sour taste of brewed tea, acquired from peach. The color of the infusion is bright and saturated, pleasantly pleasing to the eye and makes you want to immediately try this excellent and so fragrant tea. The peach itself has a very pleasant smell, and in combination with jasmine and excellent oolong, a triple aromatic bouquet is obtained, which is very difficult to characterize, although it is simply impossible to call it anything other than luxurious.

Prepare the ingredients for making iced tea with peaches.

First of all, make tea. To do this, pour the tea leaves into a disposable paper bag or a special strainer (if there is nothing suitable, then the tea will need to be filtered through a sieve after brewing) and pour 800 ml of boiling water, leave to infuse for 10 minutes (if desired, you can infuse tea for a longer time, depending on the desired tea strength) . Then remove the tea leaves and leave to cool.

cook peach syrup. Cut 3 peaches into small pieces, set aside one peach for serving.

Pour them into a deep frying pan / saucepan, add sugar (select the amount depending on the sweetness of the peaches), zest (only the yellow part needs to be rubbed) and the juice of half a medium lemon. Pour in the remaining 200 ml of water.

Cook the peaches over medium heat for 15 minutes. During cooking, as soon as the pieces begin to soften, lightly mash them with a spoon, fork or masher. Optionally, a sprig of mint or basil can be added a minute before the peaches are ready for additional flavor.

Throw the resulting peach pulp with syrup on a sieve. Squeeze the pulp carefully.

Optionally, if you like drinks with pulp, then it is not necessary to express the syrup, you can rub the whole mass in a blender and use it in this form to make iced tea.

Pour the peach syrup into the tea and stir. Take a sample and, if necessary, add additional sugar, lemon juice, or, if you went too far with something, you can pour in a little water. Cool well.
