4 peaches - skinned, pitted, and cut into wedges

¾ cup boiling water

¼ cup sugar

2 bags Two Leaves and a Bud Un-conventional Black Iced Tea

Fresh squeeze of lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste, or extract

Sparkling water

Ice cream!!!

Boil water and turn off heat. Add sugar and tea bags, cover, and steep for five minutes.

Remove tea bags and let water cool.

Puree the peach wedges. Add fresh squeeze of lemon, vanilla, and tea. Blend until smooth.

Strain the puree, pressing remaining solids to extract all juice.

Spoon the puree into glasses. I used stemless wine glasses and this made four.

SLOWLY cover with sparkling water (it will fizz - go SLOW!). Stir gently.

Add a scoop of vanilla or peach ice cream.  Garnish with sprig of mint.
