Directions

1. Prep the fruit:
   Wash the peaches and lemon thoroughly. Slice the peaches into thin wedges, and cut the lemon into thin rounds.

2. Simmer for flavor:
   In a saucepan, bring 600 ml (2 ½ cups) of water to a boil. Add the peach slices, lemon slices, and sugar or honey. Let it simmer gently for 10 minutes, then remove from heat and cool slightly.

3. Brew the tea:
   Boil the remaining 600 ml (2 ½ cups) of water. Let cool slightly (90 °C / 195 °F), then steep the tea bags for 3–4 minutes. Remove bags and let the tea cool to room temperature.

4. Combine & chill:
   Strain the peach mixture through a fine sieve, collecting the flavored liquid. Combine it with the brewed tea in a large pitcher and stir well.

5. Serve:
   Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Serve over ice with fresh peach slices and mint leaves for garnish.
