Low Carb & Sugar Free Peach Sweet Tea 🍑

Here is a delicious & refreshing tea to enjoy
during the Summer and throughout the year.

Ingredients:

4 cups fresh or canned peaches (1 1/3 pounds ~ about 5 peaches)

13 cups water

1 cup Lakanto Baking Sweetener*

9 tablespoons sugar free vanilla syrup (optional)

8 black tea bags

peach slices (optional garnish)

Method:

Peel and slice the fresh peaches. Add the peaches, 3 cups of water and the sweeteners to a large pot or Dutch oven. Simmer over medium heat for about 30 minutes, or until the peaches are very soft. Cover the pot and set aside for 10 minutes to continue to infuse.

Mash the peaches with a potato masher or wooden spoon. Strain the mixture through a sieve, pressing to release all of the juice. (If desired, reserve the pulp to make frozen cubes that can be added to smoothies.) Allow the peach syrup to cool.

Bring the remaining water to a boil. Turn off the heat and add the tea bags. Steep for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags and allow to cool.

Combine the cooled tea and syrup. Chill. Serve over ice and if desired, garnish with a peach slice. Makes about 15 cups.**

*Lakanto Baking Sweetener has a finer texture than the regular Classic Sweetener. If you do not have the Baking Sweetener in your pantry, you can process the Classic Sweetener in a food processor, to create a finer texture.

**16 cups equals 1 gallon
