Fruits Iced Teas

• 1 1/4 (lightly packed) cups fresh peppermint leaves (from 3 bunches)
• 3 ripe peaches, pitted, 2 coarsely chopped, 1 very thinly sliced
• 4 cups ice cubes, crushed

Pour 6 cups of water into a medium saucepan. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Remove from the heat and add 1 cup of peppermint leaves. Cover and let steep for 30 minutes to allow the mint to infuse the water. Strain the mint tea into a pitcher and refrigerate until cold.
Puree the chopped peaches in a blender until smooth, adding a couple tablespoons of the mint tea, if necessary, to help puree the peaches. Strain the peach puree through a fine meshed sieve and chill the puree.
Layer the crushed ice, thin slices of peach, and the remaining mint leaves in 4 tall glasses, filling the glasses about halfway. Pour some peach puree into each glass, then stir in the chilled mint tea and serve immediately.
