Raspberry Peach Lemonade
Is anyone ready for summer!? Unfortunately we have been already getting hints of the “Dubai summer” debacle...which is a favorite topic among the ladies in any party... It can get quiet dry and dehydrating in this part of the world as it’s a desert country!! So this summer, or any time really, give your taste buds a treat and whip up this easy peach raspberry lemonade! Fun to make, even more fun to drink!
Just look at that perfect summery color! The secret is in the simplicity. No complicated ingredients here folks… just 5 easy ingredients is all you need! Thank you @kibsons.
Fresh, bright, and deliciously sweet, it's the perfect summer drink.
INGREDIENTS (RASPBERRY PEACH PUREE)
- 4 fresh peaches, pitted, then diced into large chunk
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 1/4 cups water
Ingredients (SIMPLE SYRUP)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup water
ingredients (LEMONADE)
- 7 cups cold water
- 1 1/4 cups fresh lemon juice (from approximately 4 lemons)
- ice cubes
- additional raspberries, for garnish (optional)
- additional peach slices, for garnish (optional)
- mint sprigs, for garnish (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Add diced peaches, raspberries and water to a food processor or blender and process until pureed.
- Place a sieve over a large mixing bowl and pour peach raspberry puree into the sieve. Use the back of a large spoon to push the puree around so the liquid falls through the sieve and seeds/skin stay inside the sieve.
- Discard seeds/skin from the sieve and set mixing bowl with liquid in it aside.
- Add granulated sugar and 1/2 cup water to a small saucepan and heat over MED heat until sugar dissolves into the water, stirring occasionally. Boil about 3 minutes until liquid has become syrupy. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Add 7 cups water, lemon juice and ice cubes to a large pitcher. Stir to combine. Pour in cooled simple syrup and peach raspberry liquid. Stir to combine again.
- Store covered in refrigerator until ready to serve. Serve chilled with garnishes, if desired.
- ENJOYYY!
