Steps:
- Tip the sugar into a pan with 250ml water. Bring to the boil slowly, ensuring the sugar is fully dissolved. Add the chopped peaches and cook until very soft. Remove from the heat, mash the peaches with a fork, and leave to infuse for 1 hr.
- Sieve the syrup through a fine sieve into a jug, mashing the fruit to release all the liquid. The syrup will keep in the fridge for one week.
- Put the teabags in a large heatproof jug and pour over 2 litres boiling water. Leave to steep for 4 mins, then carefully remove the teabags. Leave to cool, then transfer to the fridge until chilled.
- Stir the peach syrup into the iced tea with some ice, or pour a little of the syrup into tall glasses and add the tea. Top up with more water, sparkling water or ice. Add peach slices to serve.

Steps:
- Bring 3 cups (750ml) water and the sugar to a boil in a pot. Add the peaches and vanilla bean (including the seeds). Simmer over medium heat for about 30 minutes.
- Discard the vanilla bean. Pour the peaches and syrup into a blender and puree until smooth. Strain the peach puree through a sieve into a pitcher.
- Bring 4 cups (1 liter) water to a boil in a small saucepan. Remove from the heat, add the tea and steep according to the package directions. Strain to remove the tea leaves, then add the tea to the pitcher with the peach puree. Stir to combine. Refrigerate until cold.
- The pulp from the fruit may have separated from the tea during chilling, so be sure to stir it before serving. Pour over ice cubes in tall glasses and garnish with vanilla beans.
- Cook's Note: When blending hot liquids, remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.

Steps:
- Steep tea bags in the boiling water to make a strong tea; discard tea bags. Refrigerate tea until well chilled. Stir together tea and peach nectar in a pitcher. Add mint and lemon slices; refrigerate 1 hour. Add ice, and serve.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, juicy peaches: The better the peaches, the better the tea. Look for peaches that are fragrant, have a deep orange color, and give slightly when pressed.
- Use filtered or spring water: Tap water can contain impurities that can affect the taste of the tea. If you can, use filtered or spring water for the best results.
- Sweeten to taste: The amount of sugar or honey you add to the tea is up to you. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Chill the tea before serving: Iced tea is best served cold. Chill the tea in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
- Serve with fresh peach slices: For a special touch, serve the iced tea with fresh peach slices. This will add a beautiful pop of color and flavor.
