Steps:
- Boil 1/2 gallon of water and then place in your 1 gallon pitcher.
- While water is boiling open your tea bags and tie the strings together, this will make it easier to remove them later. Also removed the paper tags on the string.
- Place tea bags in the pitcher of water (important to do this after the water was already in the pitcher or the tea bags could open).
- Let sit for at least 1 hour, I sometimes let it sit all day, not more then 12 hours.
- Remove tea bags.
- Add sugar and the additional 1/2 gallong water and mix well.
- Chill in the refridgerator and serve.

Steps:
- Bring 3 cups (750ml) water and the sugar to a boil in a pot. Add the peaches and vanilla bean (including the seeds). Simmer over medium heat for about 30 minutes.
- Discard the vanilla bean. Pour the peaches and syrup into a blender and puree until smooth. Strain the peach puree through a sieve into a pitcher.
- Bring 4 cups (1 liter) water to a boil in a small saucepan. Remove from the heat, add the tea and steep according to the package directions. Strain to remove the tea leaves, then add the tea to the pitcher with the peach puree. Stir to combine. Refrigerate until cold.
- The pulp from the fruit may have separated from the tea during chilling, so be sure to stir it before serving. Pour over ice cubes in tall glasses and garnish with vanilla beans.
- Cook's Note: When blending hot liquids, remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.
