Tea: Iced Peach

Steep three tea bags (this works with even the cheapest tea, think 2 cents per bag cheap) until brewed to your liking. Meanwhile, fill a 3/4 gallon pitcher half way with ice, add half of an apple cut into four pieces and half a peach cut into four pieces. Pour still hot tea over ice/fruit mixutre. Fill pitcher rest of the way with cold water and chill.

This is a foundational recipe: the peach is what you taste, the apple does all the dirty work. You can make lemon tea, mint tea, and basically any other type of tea, but the base will always be to start with half of an apple cut up. I think this takes some of the harshness away from the tea and adds a touch of sweetness.
