# Expert Suggestions:

01 -

You can dial up the peach or lemon flavor—think of it as your own secret Starbucks hack at home.
Whipping up a batch is so easy that you might catch yourself making it more than once a week come summer.

02 -

If you steep the green tea too long, it’ll end up tannic and overpower the fruit.
Letting the tea cool properly before mixing makes everything taste crisp, not watery—game changer.

03 -

Always taste before serving—sometimes a pinch of sugar or a bit more lemon makes all the difference.
Peach nectar from the fridge section has brighter, fresher flavor than shelf-stable cartons.
