Fresh Peach Lemonade
Fresh peach lemonade…by far my favorite lemonade flavor ever!!! But then again I’ve never tried blackberry lemonade…so maybe I shouldn’t speak so soon. Let me just say so far, peach lemonade is my fav!!
I love peach anything so it’s not surprising. This fresh peach lemonade is so fresh tasting with the perfect balance of sweet peaches and tart lemons.
It’s plenty of sweet which is how I like my lemonades and sweet ice tea because it holds up to the ice without getting watered down. You can reduce the sugar if you must….but yeah… don’t. Get the full affect baby : )
This peach lemonade recipe comes together so quick and easy using the best ingredients : peaches, lemons and water, no dyes, powders or concentrates. And none of that sitting overnight jazz.
Give me a lazy warm day, a magazine, a front porch swing and a glass of homemade peach lemonade and I am content for hours. Whew talk about refreshing!
Watch me make this fresh peach lemonade from start to finish!

I made this and turned out AMAZING .! love it going to try it with peaches and mangos. Also i bet u can make strawberry lemonade with this recipe.
I truly love your full-of-flavor, oh-so-simple recipe and tutorial. Great pictures too! I do have a question/suggestion. Instead of discarding the solid (the peach mush), why not use it for muffins. I just could not part with it, so I made really nice peach and vanilla muffins. 🙂 Just thought I would share.
This recipe turned out AMAZING!!! I did add a little more than the required ingredients, but it was only to my own preference. I also made the strawberry one, very delicious! Thank you for sharing!!!!!
