It is the last week of July, which means it is time for my last original peach recipe of the month. With the recent heat, this ice tea is bound to cool you off!
What do you think of the combination of ginger with peach? I was concerned my kids might find it weird, but they really liked it. I used white peaches in the recipe, but yellow peaches work just fine!
