Keto Peach Iced Tea#SundayFunday

Peach iced tea is a perfect and ultimate summer time drink specialty, and it's so easy to make! I am using fresh peach to make this , but can use canned peach nectar, a few bags of black tea, an easy method to make a small batch of iced tea. It's a perfect early morning or late afternoon treat. Peaches are rich in vitamins A and C, fiber, and carry antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.
Serves 2
Ingredients
For The Peach Nectar

2 Ripe Peaches
1 Cup Water
For The Tea
2 Cups Boiling Water
4 Black Tea Bags
4 Teaspoons Sugar -optional- I did not use
Method
Remove pits from peaches and chop.
Place in a saucepan with water and simmer ten minutes or until soft.
Mash pulp and strain contents of saucepan, discarding solids.
To Make The Tea
Into each glass, add two tea bags and pour a cup of the boiling water into each . Steep uncovered for 3-4 minutes.
Remove tea bags, stir in peach nectar and sugar (if using) into each, then fill the rest of the glass with the chilled water. Cover on the lid and refrigerate at least 4 hours before enjoying or if you want to have it immediately then Serve the tea over ice.
Taste the freshness of peach in every glass of Peach Ice Tea. Packed with the goodness of Vitamin C to boost your mood & energize you throughout the day. 
My Notes
Four regular-sized (single-serving) bags of black tea; two per cup. Since iced tea is, well, iced, it can be watered down, so we use two tea bags per serving instead of one.
I don't drink sweetened drinks so I did not add any sugar to my iced tea.

When it starts to bubble thicken a little, switch of the flame. Keep stirring till is cools completly and this will also help that no scum is formed on the surface. This is a custard. 
In another large bowl whip the cream till stiff peaks are formed. 
Add in the condensed milk, strain the custrad, butterscotch essence, yellow food color. Whip all this well so that they are incorporated and forms a lump free batter. 
Then fold in the butterscotch chips with a spatuala. 
Pour this into a airthight container and freeze it for atleast 24 hours.
After 24 hours, it looks like this (if you freeze the ice cream in an airthight container you will no ice crystals will form on top).
This is a best butterscotch flavor ice cream which you will love. Scoop and Enjoy!!
My Notes
