To begin, cut the peaches into thin slices.
Add the peaches, sugar and water to a medium saucepan and bring to the boil.
Lower the heat and use a wooden spoon to break down the peaches.
Once the sugar has dissolved, cover, and remove from heat. Allow the peach syrup to sit for 30 minutes.
In the meanwhile, boil the water for the tea and add it to a large teapot or saucepan. Place the tea leaves into a tea infuser and place into the boiling water. Allow the tea to brew for 2-3 minutes.
Remove the tea leaves and transfer the tea to a pitcher. Refrigerate until cool.
Once the peach syrup is ready, pour it into a container, using a fine mesh strainer to strain out the peaches. Refrigerate until cool.
To finish the tea, add the peach syrup to the cold tea and serve. Alternatively serve separately and add as much peach syrup as you like, depending on your preference for sweetness.
Serve over ice, with additional sliced peaches, and a sprig of mint.
