Directions

Brew the White Tea
Heat the water to 75–80°C (167–176°F), do not boil. Add the white tea and steep for 3–4 minutes. Remove the tea bags or strain the leaves and let the tea cool to lukewarm.
Make the Peach Rosemary Syrup
In a small saucepan, combine the peach slices, sugar, water, and rosemary sprig. Bring to a very gentle simmer over medium-low heat and cook for 8–10 minutes, just until the peaches soften and the syrup becomes lightly fragrant. Do not reduce aggressively. Remove from heat and let steep for 5 minutes only.
Strain the Syrup
Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl or measuring jug. Do not press the solids. Discard the peaches and rosemary and let the syrup cool completely.
Sweeten the Tea
While the tea is still slightly warm, stir in 120–160 ml of the cooled peach rosemary syrup. Taste and adjust cautiously — this drink should stay light and floral, never syrupy.
Chill
Refrigerate the tea for 1–2 hours until fully cold and integrated.
Serve
Fill glasses with ice, pour over the chilled rosemary peach white iced tea, and garnish with thin peach slices and a fresh rosemary sprig.

*Notes :

Rosemary must stay restrained — longer steeping turns medicinal fast.
White tea should remain soft and present; anything stronger kills the nuance.
This syrup is intentionally light; adding more sugar flattens the drink.
Best consumed within 24 hours for clean aroma and balance.
