Summer Sips with Torani® Puremade Zero Sugar Syrups...Featuring Zero Sugar Peach Raspberry Sparkling Iced Tea #zerosugar #summersips #Healthy2021 #icedtea #summerpeach

Summer is in full swing...which means staying adequately hydrated is especially important! Here in Texas, iced tea is very often the Summer beverage of choice. However, it's typically is sweetened with tons of sugar...which means excess calories and carbs. Today, I'm sharing a recipe for a refreshing sparkling iced tea that features tons of natural peach flavor thanks to the addition of Torani® Puremade Zero Sugar Peach Syrup. Puremade Zero Sugar flavoring syrups are GMO-free...and they contain ZERO artificial flavors, colors, preservatives, or sweeteners. I especially love that Torani® 
Puremade syrups are sweetened with natural erythritol, stevia, and monk fruit instead of artificial sugar substitutes! My Zero Sugar Peach Raspberry Sparkling Iced Tea is fizzy and fruit forward thanks to the addition of flavorful Puremade Zero Sugar Peach Syrup, a simple puree of fresh peaches and raspberries, and fragrant peach herbal tea. The fizz comes from raspberry and peach sugar-free sparkling waters. This colorful iced tea also makes it a perfect mocktail for Summer entertaining!

Zero Sugar Peach Raspberry Sparkling Iced Tea
a Weekend Gourmet Original
Ingredients (makes two glasses of tea):
  • 1/2 cup frozen peaches, thawed
  • 1/4 cup raspberries
  • Torani® Puremade Zero Sugar Peach Syrup
  • 12 oz. + 2 TBS peach-flavored tea -- cooled to room temperature [NOTE: I used Bigelow Perfect Peach Herbal Tea]
  • 6 ounces sugar free raspberry sparkling water
  • 6 ounces sugar free peach sparkling water
Directions:
Step 1: Make the fruit puree. Add the thawed peaches, raspberries, and 1-2 tablespoons of the steeped tea to a small blender or food processor. Blend until the mixture is a smooth puree. Spoon half of the puree -- about 2 TBS -- into the bottom of two 20-ounce glasses.
Step 2: Add two pumps of Torani® Puremade Zero Sugar Peach Syrup on top of the fruit puree in each glass. Give a quick stir with a long spoon to combine the puree and syrup.
Step 3: Add 3 ounces of the reserved cooled peach tea to each glass. Finally, add 3 ounces of chilled sugar free raspberry sparkling water AND 3 ounces of chilled sugar free peach sparkling water to each glass. Use a straw to combine all of the ingredients. To serve, add lots of ice...and start sipping! 
Y'all...this beautiful, fruity iced tea is so good you'll never miss the sugar! Peach and raspberry is a natural flavor pairing -- one thatv works very nicely here. The Torani® Puremade Zero Sugar Peach Syrup provides natural peach flavor -- and ZERO CALORIES -- to each glass of iced tea! For Summer entertaining, frozen fresh peach chunks and raspberries can be used instead of ice to keep the tea chilled. As a fun bonus? The fruit can be eaten after the tea is gone!
