I love to make fruit flavored drinks during the summer months. I actually make them all year long but it seems like they are really popular during the hot summer months when so many types of fresh fruit is in season.

We drink homemade sweet iced tea all year long here in Florida. But during fruit season I get to enjoy fruit flavored Iced drinks whenever I like. Peach tea is one of my favorites but I also love Mango Tea, Cherry Iced Tea and Hibiscus Iced Tea.

Homemade Peach Syrup for Peach Iced Tea Recipe

To make this Peach Iced Tea recipe you will need to make a simple syrup flavored with the sweet sun-ripened flavor of summer peaches. You could also use frozen peaches if you have them on hand.

A simple syrup is pretty simple to make. All you need is some granulated sugar and water. You can make any fruit flavored iced tea you want using this recipe.

I've made a ton of different fruit-flavored drinks using this same method. You could also make homemade peach soda using this method. To make peach soda instead of mixing the peach simple syrup with fresh brewed iced tea you would just mix it with club soda.
