Peach iced tea is a classic of summer holidays in the Mediterranean, and here we’ve given it a serious upgrade with our homemade version! We think when you’ll try it you’ll agree that homemade iced tea is far better than the shop-bought stuff, especially if you use top-quality tea bags or, even better, loose leaf tea. Non-alcoholic drinks deserve the best too!

Method
- Put the sugar and peaches in a small pan with 300ml water and bring to the boil, mashing the fruit a little with a wooden spoon. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, then remove from the heat, cover and leave to steep for 30 minutes.
- In a large jug, brew the tea in 700ml just-boiled water for 4-5 minutes. Remove the teabags or strain the tea into a pitcher, then chill until needed.
- Once the sugar syrup is cool, strain it into the pitcher of tea to remove the peaches.
- To serve, fill a glass with ice and pour over the iced tea. If you like, add a few slices of fresh peach to garnish.
