Peach Ice Tea

Ingredients

  • 3 Orange Pekoe tea bags

  • 4 cups cold water

  • 5 (5-ounce) cans peach nectar (about 3 1/3 cups), chilled

  • 1/4 cup chilled simple syrup or to taste

  • 1 1/3 cups sugar

  • 1 1/4 cups water

  • Peach slices for garnish

Instructions

Place tea bags in a quart-size glass measure or heatproof bowl.

In a saucepan bring water just to a boil and pour over tea bags. Steep tea 5 minutes and strain through a sieve into a heatproof pitcher. Cool tea and chill, covered, until cold, about 1 hour.

Stir in nectar and syrup. Serve tea over ice in tall glasses and garnish with peach slices and basil sprigs.

To make simple syrup: In a saucepan bring sugar and water to a boil, stirring, and boil until sugar is completely dissolved. Let syrup cool and chill, covered. Syrup may be made 2 weeks ahead and chilled, covered.
