This Basil-Peach Iced Tea Lemonade is made with peach flavored iced tea, lemonade, and fresh basil syrup. Deliciously refreshing & perfect for summer!
So. Today is the day. The day we’ve been waiting for! The last day of school! It’s a day I look forward to with a mixture of excitement and terror, a day I brace myself for all year long. This year, I’m going into summer break prepared. With chore charts and activity lists and day camps and summer school…..and lot and lots of iced tea.
Are you an iced tea fan? I have to admit – typically, I’m a coffee fan. But coffee in summer just doesn’t cut it! I’m looking for something crisp and cold and refreshing…..something that will quench my thirst and give me the energy boost I need with four kids at home.
And, just between you and me, I’m looking for something that feels like a treat without necessarily being one. Iced tea seems like the perfect option!
As much as I love it straight from the straw, it’s also the perfect base for a little something fun…..like this Basil Peach Iced Tea Lemonade! Made with just 3 simple ingredients, it’s the perfect way to make summer SO much more enjoyable.
