Summer Peach Smoothie
Servings: 1 smoothie
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon dried lavender
- 1 cup water
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 cup fresh peach slices (about 1 1/2 medium peaches)
- Dash of powdered clove
- 2 sprigs of fresh peppermint
- Small handful of ice (see note below)
Instructions
- First make a lavender tea. Place the lavender and water into a covered saucepan. (I use stainless steel Revere pots; glass and enamel pots also work well.) Over medium-high heat, bring water and herbs to a boil, and then immediately remove from the heat. Let herbs steep for one hour.
- Using a metal strainer, remove the herbs from the tea.
- Put tea and honey in the blender and blend to mix.
- Add peach slices and ice to the blender and blend well.
- Add clove and peppermint and blend.
- Drink right away or store in the refrigerator overnight.
Notes
Too much ice can be hard on the stomach and hinder digestion, so I recommend using just enough ice to give your smoothie the thick, crunchy texture you are looking for.
