Ingredients

4 ripe peaches (3 chopped, 1 sliced to serve)
100 g Sugar
250 ml water, for the syrup
4 black tea bags
1 l water, for the tea
1 lemon, sliced (optional)
Ice

Method

Put the chopped peaches, sugar and 250 ml water in a pan over medium heat. Simmer for 8–10 min, squashing the fruit, until soft and syrupy.
Meanwhile, bring the 1 litre water to the boil, pour it over the tea bags in a heatproof jug and steep for 4 min. Remove the bags without squeezing them.
Strain the peach syrup into the tea through a sieve, pressing on the fruit to get all the juice.
Cool, then chill for at least 2 hours.
Serve over plenty of ice with peach and lemon slices.

Tips

Black tea contains caffeine; decaf or rooibos bags make a kid-friendly version.
Squeezing the tea bags releases bitter tannins, so lift them out gently.
