Raspberry Peach Lemonade
Description
Raspberries and diced peaches are blended with water to create a fresh fruit puree which is strained to remove seeds and skin, leaving a smooth liquid base. A simple syrup is made by dissolving granulated sugar in water and boiling briefly to thicken. Cold water and fresh lemon juice form the lemonade base which is combined with the fruit puree and cooled simple syrup. Ice cubes keep the drink chilled and refreshing.
The lemonade serves as a cooling drink especially suited to hot weather or summer gatherings. Optional garnishes of fresh raspberries, peach slices, and sprigs of mint add visual appeal and subtle garnish flavors.
The recipe does not specify storage, but the lemonade should be kept refrigerated if not served immediately.
Ingredients
RASPBERRY PEACH PUREE:
- 4 peach fresh, pitted, then diced into large chunks
- 1 cup raspberries fresh
- 1 1/4 cups water
SIMPLE SYRUP:
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup water
LEMONADE:
- 7 cups water cold
- 1 1/4 cups lemon juice fresh, from approximately 4 lemons
- ice cubes
- raspberry optional, additional, for garnish
- peach optional, additional, sliced, for garnish
- mint optional, sprigs, for garnish
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
