Instructions:
- I n a small saucepan stir together water and sugar for simple syrup. Heat syrup on medium heat until simmering. Remove syrup from heat and add in 1/3 of the sliced peaches and 1 handful of mint leaves. Cover pot with a lid and steep syrup for 30 minutes. Drain syrup with a colander and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan heat 24 oz of the water for tea. Bring water to a simmer and add in tea bags. Steep bags for 5 minutes and then discard bags.

Do not add ice into the pitcher of tea or it will water the batch down.
