Let the pot sit for and the herbs steep for at least 5 minutes. Strain and drink.

Ingredients
4 cups cold fresh water
4 tea bags or 4 tsp loose tea leaves
1 can peaches in light syrup
1 lemon sliced
dash of cinnamon or cinnamon sticks - optional


Bring water to a boil in a kettle or pot, not aluminum. Steep your tea as you would normally do. You can either use just the peach syrup or for more flavour use the fruit as well. Place the peaches and syrup in a blender and puree for 1-2 minutes. Once tea is steeped, add peach puree and lemon juice. Place the peach tea in a large pitcher and chill.
When ready to serve, the pulp from the fruit will have settled to the bottom of the picture, do not re stir unless you want the fruit in the tea.
Poor over ice cubes in a tall glass and garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or cinnamon stick if you like. Peppermint leaves also make a nice garnish!
To serve hot, just reheat the tea without boiling, and serve immediately.
A very nice, refreshing tea, whether you drink it hot or cold.
