Great infusion of flavor in this tea. The peach complements the ginger very well. Nice blend.

Thank you Barbara! I just moved back to Hawaii and make this iced tea all the time! It's perfect before and during my workout. Here is my recipe:
6 cups of water
3 tablespoons of Simply Slim
1 tablespoon of crushed fresh ginger root
2-3 ripe peaches, cut into wedges
serves 4-6
1. Bring 6 cups of water to a boil.
2. Add Simply Slim and crushed ginger in the filter of your KONI 5 Cup Teapot.
3. Add the water to the leaves and steep for 5 minutes.
4. Remove the filter and let it cool then chill in the fridge for 2-3 hrs. You can also pour it directly over ice after cooling without having to chill it in the fridge.
5. Garnish glasses with peaches and serve tea over ice.

I made your iced tea recipe using fresh ginger and peaches as you suggested in your blog. My family and everyone at the pool party loved it. My husband really enjoyed his with a couple drops of honey. Thank you!
