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: Heat the peaches, raspberries, sugar, and water in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Keep the heat gentle so the syrup doesn’t boil. Continue heating for about 5 to 8 minutes until the sugar dissolves completely. Use a fork to mash the fruit, releasing their juices and infusing the syrup with flavor.
- Strain and Cool the Syrup: Remove the saucepan from the heat and strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove the peach and raspberry chunks. Let the syrup cool to room temperature before using it in the tea.
- Prepare the Iced Tea: In a glass, combine 1 cup of chilled black tea with 2 to 4 tablespoons of the peach raspberry syrup depending on desired sweetness. Add a handful of ice to chill the drink further and stir gently.
- Serve: Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh and fruity notes of the Bellini Peach Raspberry Iced Tea.
Notes
- If using frozen peaches or raspberries, no need to thaw them before making the syrup; you can add them directly to the saucepan.
- Adjust the amount of syrup in the iced tea to your preferred sweetness level.
- This syrup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
