Recipe: A Weedle Bit of Peach Tea (using fresh peaches)

A WEDDLE BIT OF PEACH TEA

2 large really ripe peaches, peeled and sliced thin
2 cups hot water in small pot
6 to 8 small tea bags, or enough to make tea for 2 quarts
Sugar or artificial sweetener (to taste)
Peach slices (for garnish)

In a small pot of hot (not boiling) water, add peeled and sliced peaches and cook on low heat for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat, add tea bags and cover. Let stand for 3 to 5 minutes.

Pour the mixture through a strainer into a pitcher of cold water (do not mash the tea bags as this makes tea bitter).* Add sugar to taste.

Add a peach slice to the side of the glass for a garnish.

*For a peachier flavor, separate the peaches from the tea bags and put them into the tea.

Makes 2 quarts
