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!!
Crisp, sweet, tart and refreshing!!
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.
This is such a pretty lemonade! Great for brunches!
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!

Gonna try this today. I have a lot of peaches from two farmer’s markets that I go to. Gonna have it another day too, and pair it with grilled pork chops topped with a fresh peach salsa and fresh corn on the cob. Summer is for fresh food! God is good! He created all this just for us! 🙂
I made this recipe today for a celebratory breakfast. So good! Refreshing, tart and sweet. It’s not overly sweet to taste so that’s a plus for me. Such a beautiful pink color, I’m thinking of using it as a part of an Alice in Wonderland themed party I’m planning.
