Legume Free Classic Peach Iced Tea

There is something undeniably refreshing about a tall glass of peach iced tea on a warm afternoon, and this homemade version delivers that sweet, fruity satisfaction in the most satisfying way. The real star here is the fresh peach syrup — ripe peaches are simmered down with sugar and water until they practically melt, then strained into a glossy, fragrant concentrate that gives the tea its gorgeous color and natural sweetness. Steeped black tea forms the backbone, bold enough to stand up to all that peachy goodness without getting lost. Because this recipe is built entirely from fruit, tea, sugar, and water, it's naturally free of legumes and any of the hidden additives that can sneak into store-bought flavored teas and syrups. Pouring it over a glass packed with ice and finishing with a fresh peach slice and a sprig of mint makes it feel like something you'd order at a nice café — except you made it yourself. It's the kind of drink that disappears fast, so you may want to make a double batch.
