There’s nothing more refreshing than a cup of tea, and this is a great cooler to whip up on a hot day. The floral notes in French Earl Grey, which include hibiscus flowers, sunflowers and rose petals, pair well with grilled stone fruit such as peaches, particularly as peach is a member of the rose family. – LH
