Cold brew oolong tea

Step 1

Pour the oolong tea into a large enough teapot (e.g. a P & T cylindrical teapot) and fill with cold water. Leave to steep in the refrigerator for 6 hours or overnight (can also be steeped for 30 minutes at room temperature). Pour the tea into a carafe and sweeten with peach syrup to taste. The same tea leaves can be re-brewed up to two more times.

Step 2

For the peach syrup: Bring peaches with sugar and salt to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat and cook further at a low boil. Stir and knead the fruit with a spoon for 40-45 minutes until smooth and tender. Pass through a sieve into a jar with an airtight lid and close. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. The mixture can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
