This peach tea is a delightfully sweet and refreshing treat, perfect for beating the heat!. 1/2 cup sugar (adjust to taste) Fresh mint leaves (optional) Prepare Peach Syrup: In a saucepan, combine the sliced peaches with 2 cups of water and the sugar.

We’re no strangers to a classic pitcher of sweet tea around here, but at the end of a long, hot day, we want something a little, well, harder. For a very Southern hard iced tea, we infuse a sweet tea base with lemon slices, then stir in plenty of bourbon (or lemon-flavored vodka).

I feel like a kid in a candy store when peach season arrives. Few things are better than eating a ripe peach and it’s a fruit that can be used in pies, cobblers or cake, but it’s also the perfect pairing for a beverage, especially one for brunch. That was the inspiration behind our Juicy Peach Bellinis recipe.

There's something so refreshing about a glass of fresh fruit juice. Whether you start the day by sipping on fresh-squeezed orange juice or splurge on a fancy cold-pressed green juice from time to time, the beverage hits the spot. At least, as long as it's not too sweet. While fresh juice is a tasty and nutrient-rich drink for staying hydrated, some store-bought bottles are packed with added sugars, so they aren't always as healthy as they seem. Even a single cup of 100% fruit juice can contain upward of 20 grams of sugar thanks to the fructose. Natural or not, sometimes the saccharine flavor can overwhelm the taste buds, especially if it's accompanied by an almost syrupy thickness. Fortunately, there's an easy fix for overly sweet fruit juice.
