# Steps:
01 -
Bring water to a boil and steep tea bags for 5–7 minutes. Remove the tea bags and allow the tea to cool to room temperature. For intensified flavour, extend the steeping duration slightly.
02 -
Blend peaches and raspberries with a small splash of water until smooth. Strain through a fine sieve for a refined texture or leave unstrained for added body.
03 -
Pour cooled tea into a large jug. Stir in the peach-raspberry puree, honey or syrup, lemon juice, and peach nectar. Mix thoroughly until combined.
04 -
Fill serving glasses with ice cubes. Pour the peach-raspberry tea mixture into each glass, leaving space to top with sparkling water or club soda.
05 -
Top glasses with sparkling water for effervescence. Garnish with fresh mint, peach slices, and raspberries. Serve immediately while chilled.
# Notes:
01 -
For a more pronounced fruit taste, allow the tea to steep a few extra minutes and adjust sweetener as needed. Peach nectar intensifies the juiciness, but peach juice can be substituted.
