To make iced tea:

Notes
Note 1: For best results, use fresh peaches that are ripe and juicy. Frozen peaches work too, but results may vary.
Storing Tips:
- According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, brewed tea should only be refrigerated for up to 8 hours.
- That being said, I enjoy this peach tea for up to 4 days before I toss it!
- If iced tea develops an off odor, flavor, or appearance, it's gone bad and should be discarded.
