  3. In a medium pot or kettle, bring 4 cups water to a boil. Remove from heat and add tea bags. Let steep 5 to 8 minutes. Discard tea bags.

  4. Pour tea into a heatproof pitcher. Add 1 cup peach simple syrup and 4 cups water and stir to combine. Let cool.

  5. When ready to serve, add bourbon. Taste and add more bourbon or simple syrup, if needed.
