Peach Lemonade

It's Spring....which in Florida, means it's Summer!!!!

Spring/Summer heat requires time in the sun and cool drinks.
Lemonade is all time favorite of just about anyone, but if you're like me you just might get the urge to switch things up a bit by adding another flavor into the mix!!

I love the idea of making a special drink that a group of people can all enjoy but I don't love setting aside the extra time to make something up!!
This drink is quick, easy, refreshing, and has that fresh squeezed taste that you just won't get from store bought or lemonade concentrate. 

Ingredients: 
1 1/2 cups fresh squeezed lemon juice 
1/2 cup sugar
5 cups water
3 peaches

First, you're gonna need some lemons!!
If you are using an electric juicer like I did you're going to need about six nice sized lemons.
If you are using a hand squeezer, you might need more. 
The electric juicer is able to get a lot more juice out of each lemon.


Pour the lemon juice into a large drink pitcher along with the sugar and water.
Stir until the sugar is well mixed in and dissolved. 

Peel three peaches and remove the seed and the tough part of the fruit around the seed. 
Cut into slices and place in a blender.


Blend until completely pureed.
Pour the peach puree through a sieve or anything else you have on hand that will strain out any remaining large pieces of fruit, and into a bowl. 


Add the peach puree into the pitcher and stir until completely blended. 
Chill for about an hour or until cold and serve over ice.



Now go sit in a rocking chair and sip your lemonade.
