Peachy Start

Peach softens the briskness of black tea, and ginger supplies a warm edge behind it. It’s a more interesting breakfast cup than plain peach juice, with tea giving the finish a little dryness. Brew the black tea first so you can control its strength; leaving it too long can bury the peach. Serve warm or let it cool properly before pouring over ice.

Ingredients

• 1 tea bag Black tea
• 6 oz Hot water
• 1/4 cup Peach slices
• 2 slice Fresh ginger

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.

Benefits

Black tea and peach · refreshing fluids

Black tea, peach, and ginger makes room for more water in your day. The 6 oz base carries a gently drying tea finish without needing alcohol to give it character.

A different side of ginger

There is a peppery warmth from the measured ginger in the black tea and peach mixture, giving that ingredient a place without drowning out the other flavors.
