When you have tart peaches, make Iced Peach Tea!

I picked a peck of peaches…no, not really.  I picked up a quart of Texas Peaches from the Main Street Farmers’ Market and discovered they were a little tart after I got them home.  I was too impatient to wait for them to ripen so I got the idea to let them soak in a batch of tea.
That was a thirst quenching idea that I can do over and over again.

HERE’S WHAT YOU DO
Makes one quart

  • 4 cups boiling water
  • 3 to 5 (2g) tea bags, tied together
  • 3 to 5 small peaches, seeds removed, cut into slices

Drop the peach slices into a medium size container, add tea bags, then pour in boiling water.  Steep for 3 to 5 minutes.  Strain tea into serving pitcher.  Discard peaches and tied tea bags.  Sweeten tea to taste THEN chill.

Totally refreshing!
