Eggless Classic Peach Iced Tea
Nothing says summer like a tall glass of iced tea, and this peach version takes it somewhere genuinely special. Ripe peaches are simmered down with sugar and water into a silky homemade syrup that brings a natural, jammy sweetness to every sip — no artificial flavoring needed. The whole recipe is built from pantry staples and fresh fruit, so there's nothing hidden to worry about, and it comes together with minimal effort. Straining the peach solids gives the syrup a smooth, clean finish that blends beautifully into the brewed black tea. Served over ice with optional peach slices and fresh mint, it looks like something you'd order at a nice café but costs a fraction of the price. It's the kind of drink that disappears fast at gatherings, so you might want to make a double batch.
