Refreshing Peachy Lemonade Recipe

Introducing: Peachy Basil Lemonade

Today, I’m excited to share a refreshing and unique beverage perfect for the upcoming summer days: Peachy Basil Lemonade. This drink is a delicious blend of ripe peaches, fragrant basil, and zesty lemons that will leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

Ingredients:

• 3 ripe peaches (approx. 500g)
• Handful of fresh basil leaves
• 2 lemons
• 1/2 cup of sugar (approx. 100g)
• 4 cups of water (approx. 1 liter)

Kitchen Tools:

• blender
• saucepan
• fine mesh strainer
• pitcher

Preparation:

Start by peeling and slicing the ripe peaches, removing the pits. Place the peach slices in a blender along with the fresh basil leaves. Squeeze the juice of the lemons into the blender as well. In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Pour the sugar water into the blender with the peaches, basil, and lemon juice.

Blend everything until smooth, then strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer to remove any pulp. Transfer the strained liquid into a pitcher and refrigerate for at least an hour to chill.

Tips:

For an extra burst of flavor, try freezing some basil leaves into ice cubes and adding them to your Peachy Basil Lemonade for a decorative and tasty touch.

Serving:

After the lemonade has chilled, give it a good stir and pour over ice-filled glasses. Garnish with a fresh basil leaf or a slice of peach for an elegant presentation.
