Peach Basil Iced Tea

We tried a refreshing new tea this week and I wanted to share it with you.  The basil {fresh from my garden} adds a very distinct flavor but it’s a great mix with the peach.  We drank the first jug in no time and I’m looking forward to making it again.

Bring 8 cups water to a boil.  Pour boiling water over tea bags and basil; cover and steep {I let it steep for a couple of hours to really let the flavors infuse}.
Remove and discard tea bags and basil.  Add sugar, stirring until dissolved.  Stir in peach nectar.  Strain into a pitcher.  Serve over ice.

    Mmmm! Sounds wonderful. I love the idea of adding some basil for a different flavor.

    Can’t find peach nectar here (I’ve tried before). Wondering if Pear Nectar would work instead…

      I’m sure pear nectar would add a great flavor as well! I always find peach nectar in the oddest places at my store … in with the international food choices.
