Peach Without the Rush

Rooibos gives peach a mellow, woody backdrop rather than the briskness of black tea. The fruit stays soft and fragrant, making this a quieter morning cup. Use ripe peach slices and give them a little time in the brewed tea. You can drink it warm or cool it for later; either way, it should taste like tea with peach, not peach syrup with a token splash of tea.

Ingredients

• 1 tea bag Rooibos tea
• 6 oz Hot water
• 1/4 cup Peach slices

Make it

1. Steep the tea in hot water for the time on its packet, then remove the bag.
2. Let the tea cool. Press or mash any soft fruit and stir in the remaining ingredients.
3. Pour over ice. Strain if you prefer a smoother drink.
