Cut your peaches into thin slices and place those into a saucepan on the stovetop.
Add the sugar and the two cups of water (16.65 fl oz.), bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat to simmer.
Use a spoon to press and squash the peaches to release more juices.
Stir until the sugar has dissolved.
Then cover the pan and allow the syrup to steep for a half-hour., Pour the other 16 cups of water (133.23 fl oz) into a pot.
Bring it to a boil.
Add your tea bags or loose tea.
Steep your tea for four to five minutes.
If using loose tea, pour the tea through a strainer into a pitcher.
Otherwise, throw out the tea bags and pour the tea directly into a pitcher.If making iced tea, place the pitcher in the refrigerator to start cooling it down until the simple syrup has finished steeping. , Once your syrup has steeped for 30 minutes, set a container on the counter.
If the opening is narrow, set it in the sink in case you spill any syrup as you pour.
