1
Steep the Tea
In a pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and add the 4 black tea bags. Allow the tea to steep for about 5-7 minutes, depending on how strong you like it.
2
Sweeten the Tea
After steeping, remove the tea bags and stir in 3 tablespoons of sugar while the tea is still warm. Mix until the sugar is completely dissolved.

3
Combine Ingredients
In a large pitcher, combine the sweetened tea with 1 cup of lemon juice and 1 cup of peach syrup or puree. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
4
Add Mint and Ice
Tear the fresh mint leaves slightly to release their aroma and add them to the pitcher. Add 2 cups of ice and stir to chill the drink.

5
Garnish and Serve
Pour the twisted tea into glasses over additional ice if desired. Garnish with lemon slices and fresh mint sprigs. Serve immediately and enjoy!
