Ingredients
  

4 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced

4 cups water

4 black tea bags (or 4 teaspoons loose black tea)

1 cup sugar (adjust based on sweetness preference)

1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 3-4 lemons)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Lemon slices and additional peach slices for garnish

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Ice cubes

Instructions
 

Make the Peach Syrup: In a medium saucepan, combine sliced peaches and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the peaches soften and the sugar dissolves, about 5-7 minutes. After the mixture becomes syrupy, remove from heat and let it cool completely.

    Prepare the Tea: In a separate pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Remove from heat and add the black tea bags. Steep for 5-7 minutes, depending on how strong you like your tea. Once steeped, remove the tea bags and let the tea cool to room temperature.

      Combine Ingredients: In a large pitcher, combine the cooled tea, cooled peach syrup, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir well to mix all the flavors together.

        Chill: Refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld and allow it to cool thoroughly.

          Serve: Fill glasses with ice cubes, then pour in the peach iced tea lemonade. Garnish with lemon slices, peach slices, and fresh mint leaves if desired.

            Enjoy: Stir gently before sipping to ensure the flavors are mixed. Refresh yourself with this delightful, summery drink!
