Ingredients
  

  • 4 black tea bags
  • 4 cups filtered water, divided
  • 2 large ripe peaches, pitted and sliced
  • 0.5 cup fresh raspberries
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cups ice cubes
  • 4 sprigs fresh mint

Instructions
 

  • Bring 2 cups of water to 100 degrees Celsius and steep black tea bags for 5 minutes before removing bags to prevent tannin over-extraction.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the peaches, raspberries, sugar, and 0.5 cup of water over medium heat.
  • Simmer the fruit mixture for 10 minutes until the fruit softens and the liquid achieves a syrupy consistency.
  • Strain the fruit mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a container, pressing firmly to extract all juice while discarding the pulp and seeds.
  • In a large pitcher, combine the brewed tea, the fruit syrup, lemon juice, and the remaining 1.5 cups of cold water.
  • Whisk the mixture thoroughly and refrigerate for at least 60 minutes to stabilize the temperature and integrate the flavors.
  • Serve the chilled tea over ice in glasses, garnished with fresh mint leaves.
