Product Information

At this point, remove pan from heat and cover. Let steep, covered for 25 minutes. Then strain the peaches from the wonderful pink liquid. Bam! You have your own homemade peach flavored syrup for tea! Let cool and pour into a bottle or glass container. The peach flavoring will keep in the refrigerator for about two weeks. Don’t skip the cooling stage: the peach simple syrup is scalding hot before you allow it to cool, so attempting to strain it immediately could lead to burns. The extra infusion time helps with flavor, too. After 30 minutes remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the whole mixture to cool in the saucepan for at least an hour before straining. Once cooled, strain through a sieve and store the syrup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 month. Preheat the oven to 325ºF/160ºC. Wash the jar/s in hot soapy water, rinsing well. Then place them, with no rubber, plastic, or otherwise non-heatproof elements, onto a clean oven tray and heat for 10-15 minutes, until completely dry. How to Make Ahead and Store?

Once boiled, reduce to a simmer and smash the peaches slightly to release more flavour. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Step 5 Storing peach syrup for too long poses a greater risk of spoilage. Be sure to look for changes in colour, smell, and texture. Remember that different ingredient variations can also alter its shelf life. Water: I like to use filtered water, but tap water is fine too if you live somewhere where it’s drinkable. Place some ice cubes, the remaining water, and frozen peach slices in a large pitcher. Add the brewed tea, and stir to combine. The peach syrup is the perfect concoction to enjoy in the summer. With affordable ingredients, you can turn this fruity sweetener into refreshing drinks.Adjust the sugar ratio: a simple syrup traditionally uses a 1:1 ratio of sugar to water. Meanwhile, a rich syrup uses a 2:1 ratio. You can adjust the recipe to your preference. Note that the latter will increase shelf life due to the additional sugar (around 1 month in the fridge).

Peaches are a good source of iron, folate and vitamins K and E. Not only that, but they are super sweet when they are ripe and in season, so you don't need to use any other sweetener (although you can if you like your smoothie super sweet). How to choose a peach Sweetener: you can use regular granulate sugar, raw cane sugar, brown sugar (for a more caramel flavor), or even honey. Just note that the sweetener you use will affect the color of the final peach syrup.This is a great non-alcoholic drink to enjoy during the summer. However, if you want to add a splash of booze for a party, then rum is the way to go. We have used white rum and spiced dark rum and they both work well. A jug of rum iced tea certainly goes down well at a party. Storage After 30 minutes remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the whole mixture to cool in the saucepan for at least an hour before straining. Once cooled, strain through a sieve and store the syrup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 month. Step 6

Many restaurants and coffee shops use bottled syrup to make peach iced tea, because it's easy to use and readily available. I wanted to make my own version at home, partly because the grocery stores are full of the most beautiful peaches right now, and partly I wanted to control how much sweetness was added, without compromising on peachy flavor!Ginger: either add a pinch of ginger powder or some finely chopped ginger. Adjust the amount to taste, but start with just a pinch.
