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.
