Ingredients
Peach Raspberry Syrup
- ½ cup peaches, sliced
- ½ cup raspberries
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup water
Bellini Peach Raspberry Iced Tea
- 1 cup black tea, chilled
- 2 to 4 tbsp peach raspberry syrup
- handful of ice
Instructions
- Make the peach raspberry syrup: Heat the peaches, raspberries, sugar, and water in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Be careful not to let the syrup boil to maintain a smooth texture.
- Cook until sugar dissolves: Continue heating for about 5 to 8 minutes, mashing the raspberries and peaches with a fork to release their juices and fully dissolve the sugar into the syrup.
- Strain and cool the syrup: Remove the saucepan from heat and strain out the fruit solids. Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature before use.
- Prepare the iced tea: Combine the chilled black tea with 2 to 4 tablespoons of the prepared peach raspberry syrup and a handful of ice in a glass. Stir gently and serve immediately.
Notes
- Adjust syrup quantity to taste when mixing the iced tea for desired sweetness.
- Use fresh or frozen peaches and raspberries depending on availability.
- The syrup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For a sparkling version, substitute black tea with sparkling water or seltzer.
- Add mint leaves or lemon slices for garnish and extra freshness.
