Peach Apricot End Credits

Peach slices and apricot nectar make a soft stone-fruit cup with a little body and plenty of familiar fruit aroma. The nectar gives an immediate flavor, while ripe peach develops more gently in the warm water. Stir well and give the slices a short rest before tasting. There’s no need to assume it needs extra sweetness. The combination is most enjoyable when the peach still feels fresh beside the fuller, rounder apricot.

Ingredients

• 6 oz Hot water
• 1/4 cup Peach slices
• 2 oz Apricot nectar

Make it

1. Add the tea or fruit and spices to a heatproof mug or small saucepan.
2. Pour in the hot water. Steep tea for the time on its packet, or gently simmer fruit for 3–5 minutes.
3. Remove tea bags. Strain if you prefer, add any optional sweetener, and sip while comfortably warm.
