Peach Lemonade 

Ingredients:

• 4 peaches
• 8 lemons
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 5 cups cold water
• 2 cups ice

Preparation:

• Pit and peel the peaches using a paring knife
• Dice 3 of the peaches and cut the remaining peach into slices.
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, cook the diced peaches and the sugar until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture becomes saucy. About 10 minutes. Remove from heat and use a stick or immersion blender to puree the mixture. Alternatively, you can place the peach and sugar mixture into a blender to puree it. Allow the mixture to cool.
• Meanwhile, juice the lemon and pour the juice into a large pitcher.
• Add the cooled peach puree, the peach slices, and 5 cups of cold water. Stir well.
• Add the 2 cups of ice and serve.

You can swap the peaches for 2 1/2 cups of chopped rhubarb for a fun spring rhubarb season version of this lemonade. All other steps are the same. Strawberries or raspberries work as well.
