Notes
The drink can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
Using ripe peaches gives the best flavor. If peaches aren't in season, frozen peaches work well too.
Choose a mid-range bourbon that's good for mixing.
Expensive bourbon isn't needed since the peach and tea flavors will blend with it.
The simple syrup can be adjusted based on personal taste and the sweetness of the peaches.
