White Peach Lemonade
Recipe from the February 2011 Newsletter
Serves 4
Ingredients:
- 2/3 cup water
- 1/3 cup sugar, or to taste
- 1 tablespoon lavender flowers, optional
- 1 tablespoon honey, or to taste
- 3 to 4 lemons
- 2 to 3 white peaches or nectarines, pitted and chopped
- Water
Directions:
1. Peel off the rind of your lemons in long strips. In a small saucepan over medium heat, dissolve sugar in water. When sugar is dissolved, add lemon rinds (and lavender flowers, if using). Bring to a slow simmer and cook gently for 5 minutes.
2. Remove from heat and let cool. Meanwhile, juice your lemons. When syrup is cool, strain and add 3 tablespoons to lemon juice. (You can always add more later).
3. Puree peach chunks, honey, and lemon juice mixture in a food processor or blender. Pour through a fine-mesh strainer into a pitcher.
4. Add water until it's diluted enough to drink. Add more honey or lemon syrup as needed. Serve over ice.
