Peachy tea

Do you remember me saying that as I peeled and sliced the peaches I would put them in lemon water to prevent browning? I did that all the way through. Each time, though, I saved the water.
That lemon water also had bits of peach floating in it. Being both frugal and inventive, I boiled some of the "water" down, with a cup of sugar. The result was kind of a peach nectar or syrup. Not juice, but flavorful.
I made up some Earl Grey tea and combined it with the peach syrup and we are having it over ice. It is better than the "flavored" tea we had at the restaurant when we visited my brother. I saved quite a bit of the peachy lemon flavored water in a pitcher in the freezer. We shall have peach tea for our cool afternoons..
Do you experiment in the kitchen? Have you ever bought "flavored tea". We do buy it from time to time. Nice to have it in my own fridge.

I thought about just making it into a pancake syrup, but that would have required a lot more boiling, and it is hot.

@GardenGerty That would work too but it's not much fun stirring a pot on a stove on a hot day.

Yes, we mix flavors a lot that way as well.

Yes, I do similar experiments. Not all of them turn out good but enough do that I continue experimenting with foods I'm working with.
Congrats on your good experiment!

Talking Pretty into trying something I've made is usually the problem.

I think it was a bit sweeter than I should have made it, but it is good.

The peach tea sounds good, Usually I just make up some food to heat in my toaster oven, I have thrown things together that I know combine well and made up very delicious dishes but not in a long time,

In the summer it is kind of a chore to cook much.
