Xanthan Gum Free Classic Peach Iced Tea

There is something deeply satisfying about a tall glass of peach iced tea made entirely from scratch, and this version delivers that sweet, fruity refreshment without a single additive or thickener in sight. Xanthan gum has a way of sneaking into store-bought flavored syrups and bottled teas, so making your own peach syrup from real chopped peaches and sugar is the cleanest route to a genuinely pure drink. The syrup comes together in one saucepan, with the peaches softening and breaking down into something fragrant and golden before being strained into a silky liquid. Brewed black tea adds depth and a gentle bitterness that balances the sweetness beautifully. Everything gets combined in a single pitcher and chilled until cold, so the effort is minimal but the payoff is enormous. Poured over ice and finished with a fresh peach slice or a sprig of mint, this is the kind of drink that makes a regular afternoon feel like a little occasion.
