Long Island Peach Tea

Long Island Peach Tea

5 mins preparation,

Serves 8

This is a fantastic take on a classic punch recipe, although it needs to be made the day before you want to drink it and left in the fridge to cool overnight. It’s better to buy over-ripe peaches that are soft and full of flavour rather than the hard specimens normally found in supermarkets.
