6	green tea teabags, decaffeinated
1 inch piece of	ginger, thinly sliced into rounds

PREPARATION:

Method

In a medium saucepan, bring 6 cups water to 190 degrees. Add tea bags and steep for 10 minutes. Remove the tea bags and set the brewed tea aside to cool slightly. In the meantime, in a large nonreactive glass jar with a lid, add the ginger, honey and peaches. Squeeze the juice from the lemon halves into the jar, add the lemons and cover the mixture with the steeped tea. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
To serve, fill tall glasses with ice, place a few chilled peach slices in each glass, pour
chilled tea over the peaches and top with a sprig of mint.
Editor's Note: Look for local honey and organic fruit. (It's healthier!) This recipe was featured in the Digestion Suggestions Episode of Emeril Green.
