My family love peaches!
They want peach ice cream, peach pie, sliced peaches, peach short cake instead of strawberry. My only problem is finding fresh peaches that are fit to eat and not full of pesticides. We do not live in an area that peaches will grow very well; too hot and not enough rain.
Luckily, a friend of mine solved this problem for me through a simple cup of tea. She found a fruit and herb tisane called Paradise Peach. The name really suits this blend. It is like drinking fresh peaches! I just brew some of the Paradise Peach and use it for iced tea and for desserts. This blend is sweet on its own, so I do not add any sugar. I freeze the Paradise Peach for popsicles or add gelatin to make a very peachy jell-o. I also make a salad dressing for fruit salad by adding a little olive oil and lime. A great topping for any dessert can be made by mixing Cool Whip and Paradise Peach and freezing, This is a very versatile tisane that is absolutely delicious and is available anytime of the year.
