This is so refreshingly yummy, it’s peachy perfect tho not too sweet - Summer in a glass…. Forget the egg nog, the peach tea is a far more suitable Christmas drink, at least for those of us lucky enough to manage the side effects of way too much food and drink with a quick dip in the pool, down here in unfestively hot Australia

Served in a china cup as part of a posh afternoon tea - it was a lovely addition, perfect for a sunny afternoon treat.
