Equipment
- Large Saucepan or Stockpot
- Scissors
- Muddler or masher
- Large Fine Mesh Strainer
- Pitcher
- Spoon
Ingredients
- 4 bags of black tea
- 8 c water
- 1/2 c of honey
- 1 pound peaches (about 3-4), sliced and pits removed
- 2 lemons
- 750 mL of whisk(e)y or bourbon
Instructions
- Bring water to a boil on the stove. Cut open the tea bags and shake the loose tea into the boiling water. Boil for approximately 5 minutes.
- Reduce the temperature and add the honey and peaches to the tea. Use a muddler or a masher to mash the peaches into a pulp (the juicier the peaches, the easier it will be).
- Cook the mixture on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
- Place the mesh strainer over a pitcher. Pour the peach tea mixture over the strainer (use your masher again to get all of the peach juice and tea into the pitcher). Let cool in refrigerator overnight.
- Add the whiskey to the pitcher. Juice the 2 lemons into the pitcher. Stir well. Serve immediately with a sprig of mint.
