There is something deeply satisfying about a tall glass of peach iced tea on a warm afternoon, and this homemade version delivers that sweet, fruity refreshment without any of the mystery ingredients hiding in store-bought bottles or powdered mixes. Managing eosinophilic esophagitis often means scrutinizing every label for common trigger foods, and commercial teas and flavored drinks can be surprisingly problematic with additives, natural flavors, and preservatives. This recipe keeps things beautifully simple — just ripe peaches, sugar, water, and black tea bags, so you know exactly what's going into every sip. The peach syrup is made from scratch by gently simmering fresh fruit until it breaks down into a fragrant, golden liquid, which gets strained smooth before being stirred into the brewed tea. The result is a clean, naturally flavored drink that tastes like summer in a glass. Serve it over ice with a few peach slices and a sprig of fresh mint for a presentation that looks far fancier than the effort involved.

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.
