Summer Peach Tea

If it’s summer where you are right now, you’ll want to cool off with a refreshing glass of iced tea.

It’s basically mint tea with a shot of eucalyptus and lemon.

Meanwhile, you need to make a lemon-mint-eucalyptus tea infusion by adding a mint tea bag, lemon peel and a single eucalyptus leaf to a cup of hot water. Steep for fifteen minutes before straining.

Then, add the whiskey and lemon juice to your tea before garnishing with a fresh mint sprig. Et voila!
