2Steep 7–10 minutes without squeezing the bags.

3Remove bags and stir in sugar until dissolved.

4Blend peach nectar, peaches, Mango Habanero Sauce and lemon juice until smooth.

5Strain for a smoother drink, or leave rustic.

SAUCE BOSS TIPS

✦For events, keep the tea mild and offer Mango Habanero Sauce as a "turn up the heat" add-in.

✦For a rim, mix sugar with a pinch of Hot Honey Rub or Smoky Buttz Rub and dip the glass in lemon juice first.

✦Make a concentrate with less water so it doesn't get watered down over ice.
