Peach tea

🔥 Prep

• Slice the half peach (0.5 pcs) into thin wedges, removing the pit.
• Measure out 1 tsp of black tea leaves.
• Measure 200 ml of cold water.

🔥 Cook

• 1. Pour the 200 ml water into a small saucepan and bring to a boil (100°C) over medium-high heat.
• 2. Once boiling, remove from heat and add the 1 tsp black tea; steep for 3 minutes.
• 3. Add the sliced peach wedges to the hot water and let infuse for 5 minutes, covering the pan to retain heat.
• 4. After infusion, strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a serving pitcher or mug, pressing gently on the peach to extract flavor.
• 5. (Optional) Allow the peach tea to cool to room temperature (≈20‑25°C) or serve warm; if desired, add ice cubes and sweeten to taste.

🔥 Serve

• Serve the peach tea chilled over ice with a fresh mint leaf garnish for a refreshing summer drink.
• Enjoy warm, accompanied by a slice of fresh peach and a drizzle of honey if extra sweetness is desired.
• Pair with light snacks such as shortbread cookies, scones, or fruit salad for a delightful tea-time treat.
