Summer Peach Tea Recipe
Summer is in full swing and it’s hard to believe it’s almost August! This coming weekend is already Downtown Petoskey Sidewalk Sales Friday July 27th and Saturday July 28th.Grandpa Shorter’s staff have been getting ready the last few weeks for the 2 day event and they have LOTS of awesome sale items to share with shoppers!
While store employees have been busy getting ready for sidewalk sales this weekend, I’ve been busy putting new products up on the Grandpa Shorter’s website as well as making the perfect summer peach tea recipe! I am all about being in the kitchen, even during the summer months. I’m lucky that my husband works nights during the summer months and after we get home from camp in the morning, he will take the kids to swimming and sailing in the afternoon. This gives me time to try out new recipes and share them with our readers!
Summer entertaining is always fun and if you’re looking for a delicious and easy summer tea recipe, this summer peach tea is a great place to start!
