Description
At its foundation, this drink is a luxurious, frozen blended version of traditional sweet iced tea that introduces the lush, aromatic profile of ripe summer fruit. Unlike standard iced tea which can often become watered down as the ice cubes melt in the sun, this clever recipe blends the frozen fruit directly into the liquid base.

- 2 cups frozen peach slices
- 1–2 tbsp honey or simple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
