Notes
You can prepare the homemade fruit syrup ahead of time and refrigerate it until you are ready to make your tea.
For a slightly different flavor, replace part of the black tea with caffeine-free herbal tea. Adjust the syrup according to your preferred sweetness.
Serve this summer iced tea with fresh peaches, raspberries, or a small sprig of mint for a colorful finishing touch.
