Iced Peach Tea

Iced Tea is one of my favorite summer drinks.  I like to experiment with different flavors. This recipe uses fresh summer peaches.  The peaches are cooked until soft and then cooled.  I then puree the peaches and stir in some tea.  Pour over ice, and enjoy a nice refreshing beverage.

2 ripe peaches sliced
