Instruction tip: Trying to steer clear of sugary drinks? Use fresh fruit and herbs to add a burst of flavour to still or sparkling water.
Ingredients
6 Woolworths black tea bags
3 yellow peaches, halved, destoned
1 bunch mint, leaves picked
1 1/2 tbs maple syrup
Directions
Step 1
Place tea bags in a large heatproof jug and pour over 1.5L boiling water. Stand for 15 minutes to allow flavours to infuse. Discard tea bags.
Step 2
Meanwhile, roughly chop 2 peaches, then place in a separate large heatproof jug with half of the mint. Using a muddler or wooden spoon, roughly mash peach and mint until broken down. Strain peach mixture into tea and stir in syrup. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until chilled.
Step 3
Cut remaining peach into thick wedges. Divide peach wedges and remaining mint among 6 x 1 1/2-cup capacity glasses half-filled with ice cubes. Pour over peach tea. Serve.
