Peach Tea Punch – a refreshing and summery punch that is perfect for hot days! And even better with fresh summer peaches.
Today my son and I are headed back to Wisconsin. We are going to visit my parents and my in-laws. Unfortunately my husband can’t get away from work, so he will be at home. We will have to try to have fun without him 🙂 My son is going to be in heaven, there is no doubt about that. His grandparents live across the street from each other, so he can just go back and forth all week long. Plus his cousins are flying in from Florida for part of the time we are there. We don’t get to see them very often, so we are very happy that we could make our trips overlap this year. Do you have any fun trips planned this summer? Vacations, visiting family, staycation?
Fresh peaches are a huge thing this time of year in Colorado. Before moving there, I never realized that Colorado grows a ton of peaches. I have used them to make Peach Lemonade before, and today we are making something even better! Peach Tea Punch! This is completely a kid friendly drink. If you want to booze it up for a party, feel free to add your alcohol of choice.
Peach iced tea is relatively common, quite a few restaurants have it for sure. But we are turning it into a punch. All that means is making it fizzy. But if you know anything about me, you know that I like my drink recipes fizzy! And I am all about trying new and fun drinks. Like this Thai Ice Tea looks incredible.
This peach tea punch is super easy to make. First you make a simple syrup; which is just sugar and water that you boil together for a few minutes. Then you make a pitcher of iced tea. Puree a few peaches and you are almost done. Just mix it all together and get it cold. You can make it ahead of time if you are serving for a party. Just add the ginger ale at the end, so it doesn’t get flat. You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less of the simple syrup to your tea as well. It is kind of like a southern classic sweet tea turned up a few notches!
Peach Tea Punch
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup water
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 family sized tea bags, enough to make 2 quarts
- 2 quarts water
- 4 peaches, peeled and chopped
- 3 cups ginger ale
Instructions
- In a small sauce pan, whisk together sugar and water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, pour simple syrup into a jar, and place in the fridge until ready to use.
- In a large pitcher prepare iced tea according to the package directions.
- Place chopped peaches in a blender, and puree until smooth. Pour through a fine mesh strainer to remove any pulp.
- In a punch bowl or very large pitcher combine iced tea, peach puree, and the most of the simple syrup (reserve some to adjust to your taste). Stir to combine. Taste and add additional simple syrup if desired. Just before serving mix in ginger ale. Serve over ice.
