Rosemary-Peach Iced Tea

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.
