Рецепт Peach Iced Tea
Fresh peaches, lemon juice, and peach nectar are combined with your normal tea ingredients to create a sensational drink that is reminiscent of past summer months.
Summer is winding down as we speak. Part of me wants to tell it to stay a little longer, while another part of me is excited of what lies ahead (pumpkin recipes, sweaters, jeans, leaves changing colors, etc..).
On Monday, I shared my recipe for Peach and Cinnamon Cobbler. Today, I'm sharing yet, another peach recipe with all of you. Can ya tell I'm trying to hold on to the last bit of summer? ;)
I discovered this recipe while teaching one of my cooking classes back in May of this year. I've made it three times since then because well, everyone just loves it over here! I figured since it's such a great recipe, that it deserved a spot on the blog.
This really is just your normal way of making iced tea, with just a few added ingredients to kick it up a notch. This is such a versatile recipe! You can probably substitute the peaches with mangos and turn it into mango iced tea or even strawberry/banana or apricot. It's the can of nectar that makes it pop!
There really isn't anything left to say except that if you want to savor the last few days of summer, you should make this tea! It's the perfect way to say good-bye to a wonderful summer and hello to the upcoming fall season.
