When we moved into our house, we inherited a peach tree that exploded with fruit every July. I had baskets of them and no clue what to do until one blazing hot day, I tossed a few into the blender with leftover iced tea and some honey. One sip, and I was hooked. It was cold, sweet-but-not-too-sweet, and made me feel like I was on a porch swing in Georgia. Now it’s a summer tradition we look forward to every single year.

Frozen Peach Iced Tea

Ingredients:

• 2 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced

• 2 cups brewed black tea (cooled)

• 1–2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)

• 1 cup ice (more for thicker consistency)

• 1 tsp fresh lemon juice (optional, for brightness)

• Peach slices or mint sprigs, for garnish

Instructions:

1. Brew & Chill: Brew your black tea and let it cool completely. Chill in the fridge for faster results.

2. Blend It Up: In a blender, add peaches, chilled tea, honey, lemon juice, and ice. Blend until slushy and smooth.

3. Serve Cold: Pour into glasses and garnish with peach slices or mint sprigs. Serve immediately!

Sarah’s Tips:

• Want it extra slushy? Freeze the peach slices ahead of time.

• Swap black tea for green tea or hibiscus for a twist.

• Make it sparkle: top with a splash of sparkling water before serving!
