      Simple Syrup:<\/b><\/div>\n
        \n
      1. Place the granulated sugar, water, and peaches in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir the peach mixture as needed until the sugar dissolves. Start smashing the peaches to infuse the simple syrup with the peach flavor.<\/li>\n
      2. Cover the saucepan with a lid and remove from heat. Allow the peaches to sit in the simple syrup and steep for 30-35 minutes. Smash the peaches against the sides of the saucepan to release as much flavor as possible the peaches should be mushy and broken down.<\/li>\n
      3. Strain the simple syrup in a fine mesh strainer and press the peaches against the strainer to release as much flavor as possible. Store the peach simple syrup into a bottle or container. Place in the refrigerator and allow it to cool.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        Iced Tea:<\/b><\/div>\n
          \n
        1. Bring the water to a boil, remove from heat, add the tea bags, and allow the tea to steep for 4-5 minutes. You can use additional tea bags if you prefer a stronger tea, alternately, you can use less tea bags if you prefer a weaker tea.<\/li>\n
        2. Once brewed, remove tea bags, transfer tea to a pitcher. Refrigerate to cool.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          <\/div>\n
          <\/div>\n
          Peach Ice Tea:<\/b><\/div>\n
            \n
          1. Serve the peach simple syrup along side the brewed iced tea or add the simple syrup to the tea prior to serving. Serve with lots of ice.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
