Description

When the day calls for something cool and refreshing, this peach ginger green tea spritzer is just the ticket. Fresh peach gives the drink a gentle fruity sweetness, while ginger adds a little zing and lemon brightens everything up.

Chilled green tea provides a light, earthy base, and a splash of sparkling water gives the whole thing a lively finish. It’s refreshing without being overly sweet, making it a lovely afternoon pick-me-up or a pretty drink to serve alongside a light supper.

Ingredients

2 green tea bags
1 1/2 cups boiling water
1 medium ripe peach, pitted and chopped
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon honey
1 cup chilled sparkling water
Ice, for serving
Peach slices and lemon wedges, for garnish

Instructions

1
Brew the tea. Place the green tea bags in a heatproof measuring cup or pitcher. Pour the boiling water over them and steep for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags and let the tea cool.
2
Blend the peach mixture. Add the chopped peach, lemon juice, grated ginger, and honey to a blender. Blend until smooth.
3
Combine. Stir the peach mixture into the cooled green tea.
4
Chill. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until thoroughly chilled.
5
Add the sparkle. Just before serving, gently stir in the sparkling water.
6
Serve. Fill two glasses with ice and divide the spritzer between them. Garnish with fresh peach slices and lemon wedges.

Note

Midge's Tip:

For an extra-pretty drink, rub a peach slice around the rim of each glass before adding the ice. And if your peach is especially sweet and juicy, you may find you need very little honey at all.
