2 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced

1/4 cup sugar (or to taste)

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Ice cubes

Instructions
 

In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.

    Once boiling, remove from heat and add the black tea bags. Let steep for about 5 minutes for a strong flavor.

          Add the lemon juice to enhance the flavor and mix well.

            Allow the peach tea to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or until cold).
