This is one of those recipes that feels a little nostalgic but still fresh enough for spring. It has that classic float energy, but instead of soda, you’re using a softly sweet peach herbal tea that keeps everything lighter and more balanced.
Evening Peach Orchard works especially well here because the chamomile and peach create a mellow base that pairs easily with vanilla. It’s creamy without being heavy, sweet without being overwhelming, and just the right kind of treat for a warm afternoon.
