Print Recipe

Ingredients

Iced Peachy Rose Tea

  • Sun brewed black tea (see below)
  • Fresh peach syrup with peach slices (recipe below)
  • Rosewater (food grade rosewater)

Sun Tea

  • Water
  • Desired tea bags (I used a peach-flavored black tea by Harney and Sons that they formulate especially for sun tea, but any black tea should work)

Peachy Rose Syrup

  • 2 cups fresh (or frozen) peach slices (note: if you use frozen peaches the syrup will not be pink, but still good!)
  • 1 cup sugar

Instructions

Iced Peachy Rose Tea

  • Fill a glass with ice and pour sun-brewed black tea over ice.
  • Add the desired amount of fresh peach syrup and a few drops of rosewater. I used about 1/2 tsp. to get a hint of rose, but this may depend on the strength of your rosewater.
  • Notice the beautiful presentation of amber and pink layers before stirring! To achieve this, put syrup in the bottom first, add ice, and top off with tea.
  • If desired, garnish with fresh peach slices and dried pink rose petals. Very refreshing for a hot afternoon!

Sun Tea

  • Take desired tea bags and put them in a large, clean jar filled with water. About 4 bags per 2 quarts of water should do.
  • Let sit in the sun for 3-4 hours.
  • Strain the tea bags from the jar.
  • Store iced tea in the fridge.

Peachy Rose Syrup

  • Combine peaches and sugar in a quart-sized jar and put the lid on top.
  • Let the peaches sit in the jar for a few hours, swirling the contents. The sugar will eventually dissolve, and juices will form, giving you a fresh, beautiful peachy-pink syrup!
  • When sugar is dissolved, it is ready to use. Store in the fridge and use in tea as desired.
