Enjoy a glass of this refreshing Ginger Peach Lemonade on a hot summer day!
We have been experiencing a very hot, dry summer here in Michigan. This weather definitely calls for cold, refreshing drinks to help cool our bodies down.
I love making lemonade during the warmer months.
To me there is nothing more refreshing that a cold glass of lemonade.
Making a pitcher of homemade lemonade couldn't be any easier. Sure it might take a little longer than simply adding the powder lemonade mix to water, but it is worth the extra time to squeeze the lemons.
I believe that fresh squeezed lemon juice makes such a difference.
Right now our local farmers markets and orchard are filled with fresh peaches, which are definitely one of my favorites fruits.
Fresh peaches add a fun, seasonal twist on the classic lemonade.
For a little extra pop of flavor, I added fresh ginger to the peach simple sugar. I love adding ginger to pretty much anything that I can and I just couldn't resist adding it here either.
The fresh ginger adds another layer of flavor and dimension to the lemonade. Ginger and peach compliment each other well and make a delicious lemonade.
I think that you'll find this Ginger Peach Lemonade:
Refreshing
The right amount of sweetness
Perfect for a hot day
& great for entertaining

Thanks for sharing! Does it keep long?
Jeni
I usually make this the day I plan on serving it. But it should last a few days in the fridge!
Jewels
Oooh I love this! And I just had an idea of substituting the water with sparkling water for a spritzer-like beverage!😍
Jeni
That sounds like a great idea! Definitely going to try it with sparkling water this summer.

Can you use frozen peaches when fresh peaches are not available?
Jeni
I haven't tried making the lemonade with frozen peaches before, but I'm sure that they would work in the recipe.
