Thanks K & c for this posting. This iced tea is light and refreshing. It was somewhat sweet but not real sweet. You could add more sugar to make it really sweet if you want. I liked it as is. My guests drank it down and then began eating the tea soaked peaches. The infused peach flavor from the fresh fruit and the apricot from the nectar made a great drink. I will make again in the heat of the summer. Made for Bargain Basement Tag May 2010. Enjoy! ChefDLH
