Life's A Peach Iced Tea

It's getting warmer and what could be better than a cold glass of Iced Tea? Um, a cold glass of Boozy Iced Tea that's what!


You might think that making Tea in your Thermomix is a waste of time.  Sure you can boil a jug in 5 minutes and Be done, but when you brew in your Thermomix you can infuse any summer flavour you like.   With so much seasonal stone fruit about to hit the market, you will have plenty to choose from.



Ingredients
1.5L hot water (straight from the tap to save time heating)
60 gm  sugar
Juice of 1 lemon
Handful of mint
2 peaches, sliced
4 black tea bags
1/2 cup Vodka
1/2 cup Malibu
Ice to serve
Mint and fresh peach slices to garnish

Method
Add the water, sugar and lemon juice to your bowl
Mix on speed 1 for 10 minutes at 90 degrees
Add the peach, mint and tea bag to your basket.
After 5 minutes heating the water, pause the machine and add the basket to the bowl, tuck the tea bag strings over the bowl's edge and place the lid on
Re-start the Thermomix, increasing the speed to 4 for the final 5 minutes.
Leave the tea in the bowl to cool to room temp, infusing all of the flavours
Once cool, transfer to a jug with ice
Add your liquor and stir with a spoon.
Garnish with fresh mint and peach slices.

Enjoy from your whitewashed verandah in the Hamptons!
