You'll need

• 4 tea bags of Lipton Black Tea with Peach and Mango from Greece
• 500ml freshly drawn water at 100C, just off the boil
• 250g caster sugar
• 150g fresh ripe peach flesh, peeled and chopped
• 30ml fresh lemon juice
• 1 medium saucepan
• 1 fine sieve lined with muslin for straining

• 1 saucer for covering the steep

Method

1. Steep 4 tea bags in 500ml of just boiled water for 4 minutes, covered.
2. Lift out the bags, pressing them to release a strong brew.
3. Pour the brew into a saucepan with the sugar, chopped peach and lemon juice.
4. Simmer gently for about 10 minutes, stirring and pressing the peach until it falls apart into the liquid.
5. Strain through a muslin lined sieve, pushing the pulp to get every last drop of juice.
6. Funnel into a sterilised bottle, seal and chill; use within a couple of weeks.
7. Do not bin the strained pulp; stir it through yoghurt or porridge instead.
