Directions

Brew the Tea
Add the hot water and tea bags to a heatproof pitcher.
Steep 8–10 minutes, remove the bags, and let the tea cool fully.
Stir in lemon juice once cooled.
Make the Peach Thyme Syrup
Combine peaches, thyme, water, and sugar in a saucepan.
Bring to a boil, then simmer gently for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Mash the peaches to release extra flavor.
Strain the Syrup
Strain through a fine mesh sieve, pressing to extract all liquid.
Let the syrup cool completely.
Assemble the Drinks
Divide ice between glasses.
Mix 1 part peach syrup with 2 parts tea in each glass.
Taste and sweeten with honey if desired.
Stir gently and garnish with peach slices and fresh thyme.

*Notes :

Do not steep white tea in boiling water — it becomes bitter very quickly.
For a stronger thyme aroma, steep the syrup an extra 5 minutes off the heat.
Double-strain the syrup for a cleaner, clearer iced tea.
This drink is best served immediately after combining with ice.
