Get the Recipe: Peach Syrup for Tea
Nothing beats the summer heat like an ice cold glass of peach tea! Make this easy peach syrup for your favorite peach tea. Also great for cocktails, lemonades, and sodas!
Ingredients
- 1 gallon fresh brewed tea
For the Vanilla Peach Simple Syrup
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup granular sweetener
- 5 peaches, quartered
- 2 teaspoons, vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Equipment
Instructions
- Bring water, sweetener, and peaches to a light boil. Allow the mixture to simmer (not a rolling boil) for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and salt, then remove from heat. Allow to cool enough to handle.
- Pour syrup through a fine strainer into a jar. Discard peaches (or check post for other ways to use these).
- Store peach syrup in a sealed jar in the fridge until ready to use, or immediately stir 1/2-cup of syrup into 1 gallon of tea. Taste, then add additional syrup until it meets your preference.
Notes
- Calculating nutrition on this is difficult because we do strain out the peaches so shouldn't count them... However, the sugars transfer into the liquid, so taking them out completely wouldn't be accurate either. Since I'm only human, I estimated calculations including the peaches entirely, so it will err on the higher side.
- If you replace sugar with the monk fruit sweetener, I calculated 18 calories, 129 mg sodium, and 3.5 net carbs per cup of tea if you used all 2 cups of syrup in a gallon.
- Peach syrup by itself has the same nutrition details since brewed black tea does not add anything.
