Summertime at our house means fun refreshments and the more mint we can use, the better. The mint crop is alive and well {and it's taken over the whole garden as I hoped it would}!
Real Simple recently shared a recipe for iced tea with peach and mint but I decided to alter it, hoping to draw out a bit more of the flavors.
I used eight tea bags, one peach {roughly chopped}, and one cup of very-packed mint {I throw in the stems and all, not just leaves}.
I poured eight cups of boiling water over all of it and allowed it to steep for an hour or so.
The result was a minty iced tea with a hint of peach flavoring. For stronger flavor, add another peach or two to the brew. You could also add a bit of sugar if you like your tea on the sweet side.
If you like what you see, would you consider following me?
Looks so refreshing! My daughter just pick out a mint plant for herself when I was buying flowers to plant.
