Peach Iced Tea

This recipe was printed on a 10-pound bag of Domino Pure Cane Sugar. It looked good, so I made it. And it's great!

1/3 cup fresh mint leaves
4 tablespoons granulated sugar (Domino Pure Cane Sugar, of course)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
4 cups cold water
4 tea bags (individual serving size)
1-1/2 cups peach nectar

Using the back of a spoon, crush the mint leaves with the sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl. Set aside.

In a 1-1/2 quart pan or tea kettle, over high heat, bring the cold water to a boil. Pour over the tea bags and mint mixture in a heat-proof pitcher or container. Stir briefly. Allow to steep 4 to 5 minutes or until desired strength.

Strain tea into another container and add peach nectar. Cool. To serve, pour into ice-filled glasses. Garnish with peach wedge and mint sprig, if desired.

Makes about 6 servings.
