Summer in the pacific northwest means peach lemonade! In late august and early September this is my favorite drink to make and is a great sendoff for the summer. This lemonade is super easy to make, and as long as you have peaches and lemons you probably have the rest of the ingredients as well!
similar to my Huckleberry lemonade recipe, you will make a puree with the peaches and simply add it to the lemonade. easy. Let’s get right into it!
peach lemonade recipe
For the lemonade:
- 8 lemons (one sliced thin)
- 3 cups hot water
- 1-quart cold water
- 1 cup of white cane sugar
For the peach puree
- 3 cups fresh peaches
instructions
- You’ll first want to put half of your thinly sliced lemon in your desired pitcher, then adding the sugar on top of the lemons. Save the rest of your thinly sliced lemon for garnish.
- Squeeze your 7 remaining lemons and remove seeds from the juice.
- Add juice to your pitcher then add your hot water, no need to sir yet allow the water to cool to room temp.
- Add your cold water and remaining lemons, place in the fridge or somewhere cool while you make your peach puree.
- To make peach puree just sliced your peaches and added them to a food processor. that’s it. You can peel the peaches if you so desire, but I like the color of the lemonade when I leave the skins on.
- After that you can add the puree to the lemonade, add ice and serve!
