Another summertime cocktail. As we go through the summer, you see all the lovely things at the Farmer’s Market and local peaches are ripe. I bought a few, but then didn’t get around to eating them, so they were almost too soft for anything besides pie or making smoothies. So I made a puree, and thus this iced tea. Note that with the amount of puree and honey simple syrup that this makes, it would be just enough to make an entire pitcher (I only made a glass-full for the photo — and because I couldn’t exactly drink an entire pitcher or spiked iced tea myself.
Cocktails on a Friday! And beautiful weather to boot! This is a bit of a riff on both mint tea (which I love any time of the year, but I find very refreshing cold in the summertime … err, I guess it isn’t summer yet) and a mojito (yum!), plus the addition of my favorite spice, cardamom. Inspired by The Bonjon Gourmet. Drink up and cheers!
