Last summer I revised in the town library, and when that shut at 5pm (with W finishing work at 6pm) I’d decamp to Costa. My go-to drink became their peach iced tea, and even now I love it. It gives me a slight caffeine buzz, it’s so refreshing, and the sweetness level is just about right.
My dad doesn’t feel the same way about these drinks. Possibly because I split a whole one over the back of his car. Ten minutes into a four hour journey. Pretty sure it still smells of peaches nearly a year on…
When Hometreats offered to send me a lovely drinking jar * I knew my favorite treat would work perfectly in it. Some might have whisked up an indulgent cocktail, but for me nothing beats relaxing with a cup of tea. This is the summer version – and I’m hoping this weekend is a nice one. I have plans to sit in the garden, magazine, drink in hand, and relax.
It’s pretty simple this. Brew half a mug of tea lightly (any breakfast tea works well – Yorkshire is my favourite). Add to the glass and top with cool water. Grab a tin of peaches, slice half and add to the glass, and stir through a spoon or two of the syrup from the tin. Add ice, mint if you have any, and relax.
The perfect accompaniment to a lazy afternoon weekend, and I also love it after a long day at work. It’s almost as a good as a bog standard cup of tea!
What’s your favorite summertime drink? Are you a fan of iced tea?
