Ingredients:
1/2 Cup granulated sugar or honey
1/4 cup Olive+Hive Peach White Balsamic Vinegar
8 cups cold water
4 black tea bags
1 peach, sliced (skin on or off)
Preparation:
Place the sugar and the balsamic in a small saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add 8 cups of cold water to a large glass pitcher, then pour in the balsamic simple syrup mixture, and stir. Place the tea bags in the water, cover the pitcher lightly with plastic wrap so the bugs can’t get to it, and set the pitcher out in the sun.
Let sit for 4 hours, giving the sun the chance to pull the tea from the bags. You’ll notice some condensation develop, but that’s nothing to worry about. Stir and taste, and then let the tea sit for another 2 hours at most, if you like. Remove the tea bags, trying not to squeeze the extra tea from them (this makes the tea bitter). Put 2-3 ice cubes in a glass and fill with tea. Add fresh peach slices to the glass for garnish.
This will keep in the fridge for 2-3 days after you remove the tea bags.
