Rosemary-Peach Iced Tea
Note. I don’t like my iced tea overly sweet, ½ cup of sugar works for me, but feel free to play around.
Ingredients
4 cups / 2 l water
4 tea bags
6 large (very ripe) peaches, peeled and sliced
½ cup / 4 oz / 115 gr coconut palm sugar* (adjust to taste)
Pinch of baking soda
2 stalks fresh rosemary
6 cups cold water
*Use regular brown sugar if you don’t care about the paleo thing
Directions
Bring 4 cups of water to a very gentle simmer. Turn off the heat and place tea bags in the water. Let the tea bags steep for 5 to 6 minutes (or longer if you like a stronger flavor!)
Remove the tea bags and set aside.
In the meantime, place peaches and sugar in a sauce pot and cook on medium heat until the peaches are bubbly and broken down.
Puree the mixture in a food processor (or blender), then strain through a fine mesh strainer, directly into the tea.
Add rosemary stalks, cold water, and baking soda. Mix well and refrigerate until cold.
Serve chilled over ice.
