Peppermint Peach Punch

2 cups water
2 mint teabags
1 Tbls ginger root
1/2 cup sugar
3 large peaches
1 Tbls lemon juice
1/4 tsp salt
2 liters sparkling water

Boil 2 cups water. Remove from heat. Add the tea bags and steep for 10 minutes.

Chop the peaches and ginger root, removing peach pits. Combine all ingredients except the sparkling water, and let sit for 10 minutes. Liquefy the mixture in blender, then strain out the solids, which will basically only be bits of peach skin. Return the mixture to heat, and heat it to boiling point. Remove from heat and chill thoroughly. To serve, mix it with 2 liters of sparkling water. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and frozen peach chunks.
