Lactose Free Classic Peach Iced Tea

Few drinks capture the feeling of a slow summer afternoon quite like a tall glass of peach iced tea, and this homemade version is genuinely hard to beat. The secret is the from-scratch 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 with real fruit flavor. Since the whole recipe is built on tea, fresh peaches, and a simple syrup, there's nothing here that would cause any trouble for anyone avoiding dairy — no cream, no milk, no hidden additives to second-guess. Brewing the black tea separately and combining it with the chilled syrup gives you a beautifully balanced drink that's sweet but not cloying. A handful of ice, a few fresh peach slices, and a sprig of mint turn it into something that looks as good as it tastes. It's the kind of pitcher drink you'll want to keep stocked in the fridge all season long.
