Bring peach slices, sugar, and 250 ml water to a boil in a pot, then simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes.
Strain through a sieve into a bowl and let cool.
Boil water and pour 500ml of boiling water and lemon juice over the black tea bags.
Let the tea steep for about 3-4 minutes depending on desired strength.
Remove tea bags and let the tea cool.
Fill a large pitcher (at least 1.5L capacity) with ice cubes and peach slices.
