Method
- In a saucepan, combine the peach chunks, lemon juice, caster sugar and water. Place over a medium heat and bring to a simmer, then cover and cook until the peaches soften; around 10 minutes.
- Once the peaches have softened, remove from the heat and use a wooden spoon to break the peaches down. Add the tea bags, then leave to steep for 10 minutes.
- Strain through a sieve into a jug or bowl, then place into the refrigerator and leave to cool for a minimum of 2 hours or until chilled.
- Once cool, pour the tea into glasses half filled with ice; add the tea as per your desired ratio to soda water. Add a couple of peach and lemon slices, then top with soda water and finish with a sprig of mint. Serve and enjoy.
