How to make a Peach Melba Cold Brew

First, brew your cold brew. Start by brewing a strong batch of cold brew tea with 32 oz of water and 4 teaspoons of any peach flavored tea. (Cold brew = cold water, 8-12 hours/overnight in the fridge.)

Then, make a raspberry syrup.

Raspberry Syrup

Ingredients:

1 cup fresh raspberries
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

Combine ingredients: In a small bowl, combine raspberries, sugar, and vanilla extract.
Let sit: Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes, or until the raspberries break down and release their juices.
Mash and strain: Mash the raspberries with a fork and then strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the seeds and pulp.
Simmer (optional): If you prefer a thicker syrup, transfer the strained mixture to a small saucepan and simmer over low heat for 5-10 minutes, or until thickened to your desired consistency.
Cool: Let the syrup cool completely before using.

Lastly, time to make the cold foam and assemble the drink.
