This iced peach tea lemonade is similar to the familiar Arnold Palmer, which is a blend of tea and lemonade. This peach-infused version is based on a drink I tried at a local brewery.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cups water: 5 piece (divided)
- 1/2 cups white sugar: 1 piece
- peaches: 4 piece (sliced)
- freshly-squeezed lemon juice: 1 cup

Stages of cooking
-
Stir together 1 1/2 cups water, sugar, and sliced peaches in a large pot. Bring to a simmer, and simmer until sugar is dissolved, the mixture is syrupy, and syrup is infused with peach flavor, about 10 minutes. Set syrup aside to cool, then strain off peaches; reserve peaches for another use.
-
Meanwhile, in another pot bring remaining 4 cups water to a boil. Turn heat off. Add tea bags; steep 4 to 6 minutes. Remove tea bags and discard.
-
Add lemon juice to syrup. To each glass add ice and 6 ounces brewed tea. Sweeten each glass to taste with 1 to 2 ounces lemon-peach syrup.
