Comments on: Peach & Sour Cream Gratin and Key Lime Iced Green Tea http://dinnerwithjulie.com/2010/07/25/fresh-peach-sour-cream-gratin/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=fresh-peach-sour-cream-gratin A year in my kitchen Fri, 25 May 2012 00:27:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Honey http://dinnerwithjulie.com/2010/07/25/fresh-peach-sour-cream-gratin/comment-page-1/#comment-17345 Honey Fri, 30 Jul 2010 22:31:36 +0000 http://dinnerwithjulie.com/?p=5928#comment-17345 I made this lovely concoction last night, but I have a confession to make. I made it as you suggested with honey to taste, but when my husband crawled in from work and wanted a cocktail. I muddled some fresh basil with a key lime, poured in the chilled green tea with honey, added a shot vodka, some crushed ice, shook the shaker and poured. My hubby says it was the most refreshing cocktail he's ever had. His grumpy exterior was transformed and we had a lovely dinner and took a long walk.

My partner is doing the same and so I started making him iced teas too (he said he still needed the cold fix - thus why we didn't use warm teas). I use a lot of teas from Silk Road in Victoria. I brew them the night before (2 or 3 scoops of white, black, red or green blends) and then add some chopped up lemons, limes, oranges, strawberries. Whatever I am in the mood for. I usually add a tiny bit of maple syrup as well (honey and tea have gag sensation for me). I got these last week at Community for on the go and work. They have a couple different flavours. Lots of unsweetened options too. I prefer homemade, but they may be useful in a pinch. http://www.stashtea.com/products/Lemon+Ginger+Green+Iced+Tea+Powder.aspx Love the key lime idea. Must try.

Totally have to try your Mom's iced tea too - love green tea. Can't wait to hear about your Big Plan involving plums...(quietly wishing for a certain plum tart recipe!) I have a surplus right now and could use some inspiration :) Oooh your ideal day sounds like bliss (although maybe with a smaller muffin?)

At home my Alberta variant is sun tea (made with half green, half Murchies or earl grey, or even half earl grey & lapsang souchang - put tea and water in large bottle and leave on the deck railing all day before refrigerating - never gets bitter this way!) with a dose of the lemon syrup from one of your earlier recipes and half a key lime per glass.
