PEACH HALF-AND-HALF COCKTAIL
Steps:
- Fill 4 highball glasses with ice. Divide the peach iced tea, lemonade and vodka evenly among the glasses. Garnish each with a lemon wheel and mint sprig.
PEACH SAUCE
Make this up in advance for sourdough pancakes. I used Celestial Seasonings® tea. Substitute water for tea if you don't have it on hand. Chopped pecans might taste good in this, as well as brandy instead of vanilla.

PEACHES AND CREAM, LITERALLY
The classic combination of peaches and cream is as simple as it sounds: peaches, lightly sweetened and simmered, need only a splash of cold heavy cream and nothing more. Just remember to make this ahead of time for the peachiest results.

Steps:
- Cut each peach in half along the crease, twist open, and remove the pit. Peel and slice. Cut slices in half to get roughly 2 cups of sliced peaches.
- Bring sugar and water to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Boil until a syrup forms, about 3 minutes. Stir in peaches until coated. Bring syrup back to a light simmer, about 1 minute. Immediately remove from heat and pour mixture into a bowl.
- Transfer peaches into a large bowl using a slotted spoon. Pour in heavy cream and stir to combine. Divide mixture between serving glasses, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until completely chilled and cream has absorbed all the peach flavor, at least 3 hours.

Tips:
- For the perfect balance of flavors, choose ripe, juicy peaches that are slightly firm to the touch.
- If you don't have a baking dish, you can use a cast iron skillet or a large frying pan.
- Be careful not to overcook the peaches, as they will become mushy. Cook them just until they are softened and slightly caramelized.
- For a richer chocolate sauce, use heavy cream instead of milk. You can also add a tablespoon of butter or chopped chocolate to the sauce.
- Serve the peach halves while they are still warm, topped with chocolate sauce and a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
