Notes

Store any leftover iced tea in a sealed container in the refrigerator for about 3 to 5 days. You can enhance flavor with additional peach syrup or slices before serving. For a stronger flavor, steep the tea bags longer, but avoid bitterness. Consider using fresh peaches and mashing them slightly for more flavor. Experiment with other herbs like basil or lemon verbena for unique flavors.
