Use sharp scissors to cut and collect them, ensuring you do not harm the tree. Choose healthy blossoms and rinse them gently to clean.

• Boost with Berries: Toss in a handful of raspberries or strawberries for added color and a berry sweetness that complements the peach and orange flavors.
• Experiment with Tea Bases: Try adding green tea or white tea instead of using pure peach blossom tea for a different antioxidant profile and a subtle change in flavor dynamics.
• Add Sparkle: For a fizzy twist, top off each glass with a splash of club soda or sparkling water right before serving to add a refreshing effervescence.
• Warm Winter Version: Serve this drink warm, omitting the ice and heating the brewed mixture gently with the fruit slices. You can also add cardamom or a stick of cinnamon during the brewing process to add a warm, exotic spices — perfect for a cozy winter drink with a twist.
