Ingredients
Peach Raspberry Syrup:
- ½ cup peaches, sliced
- ½ cup raspberries
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup water
Bellini Peach Raspberry Iced Tea:
- 1 cup black tea, chilled
- 2 to 4 tablespoons peach raspberry syrup
- Handful of ice
Instructions
- Make the Peach Raspberry Syrup: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sliced peaches, raspberries, granulated sugar, and water. Stir occasionally and heat gently without letting it boil. Continue heating for 5 to 8 minutes until the sugar dissolves completely, mashing the fruit with a fork to release its juices.
- Strain and Cool Syrup: Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the mixture through a fine sieve to separate the syrup from the fruit solids. Set the syrup aside and allow it to cool to room temperature.
- Assemble the Iced Tea: In a glass, combine the chilled black tea, 2 to 4 tablespoons of the cooled peach raspberry syrup depending on your desired sweetness, and a handful of ice. Stir well to mix and serve immediately for a refreshing drink.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of syrup in the iced tea to suit your preferred sweetness level.
- For a stronger fruit flavor, use fresh ripe peaches and raspberries.
- Black tea can be substituted with green tea or herbal tea according to taste.
- To make the syrup ahead of time, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For a sparkling twist, use sparkling water instead of regular black tea.
