Brazil Nut Free Turmeric-Cinnamon Black Tea Peach Cooler
This golden, spiced cooler is the kind of drink that makes a regular afternoon feel like something special. Warm notes of turmeric, cinnamon, and fresh ginger bloom into a bold black tea base, then get balanced out by the bright, juicy sweetness of ripe muddled peaches. A squeeze of lemon and a touch of honey round everything out so perfectly you'll wonder why you ever settled for plain iced tea. The whole thing is built from straightforward pantry spices and fresh fruit, so there's no stress about hidden additives or ambiguous "natural flavors" on a label. Straining the muddled peach pulp directly into the chilled tea is a clever move — you get all that gorgeous peachy flavor without any stringy bits floating in your glass. Poured over ice and finished with a sprig of fresh mint, it looks stunning and tastes even better. It's the kind of refreshing, feel-good sip you'll want to make on repeat all summer long.
