There is something deeply satisfying about a glass of homemade peach iced tea on a warm afternoon, and this version delivers that sweet, fruity refreshment in the most straightforward way possible. The real star is the quick peach syrup — ripe peaches simmered down with sugar and water until they're soft and fragrant, then strained into a silky, golden liquid that infuses every sip. Steeping black tea bags in boiling water and blending in that syrup creates a drink that tastes far more special than anything you'd grab off a store shelf. Since every ingredient here is naturally free of celery and celery derivatives, there's zero guesswork about what's actually in your glass. Garnished with fresh peach slices and a sprig of mint, it's as pretty as it is delicious — the kind of thing you'd proudly set out for guests without a second thought. Make a big pitcher and keep it cold in the fridge, because it disappears fast.

Combine the chopped peaches, sugar, and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the peaches soften and begin to break down, about 8–10 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the peach mixture cool for 5 minutes, then press it through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl or measuring cup, pressing the solids firmly with the back of a spoon to extract as much syrup as possible. Discard the solids.
