 | Miss F's school participates in the program, One School, One Book, every summer. The whole school reads the same book and activities are planned around it during the start of school. This summer, they read The Lemonade War. The kids were encouraged to have a lemonade stand over the summer. Miss F wanted to incorporate the fresh Palisade peaches we were loving in Colorado in her lemonade and the results were fantastic. As a side note, our house in Colorado came furnished, complete with a peach and lemon breakfast table. I despise it and hope to replace it soon, but it was the perfect backdrop for fresh peach lemonade. Miss F made some pocket money after purchasing her supplies and had a great time with the lemonade stand. |
8 cups water
1 cup sugar
2 large peaches, pitted and chopped
1 cup lemon juice, from about 5 large lemons
In a small saucepan, combine 2 cups of water with the sugar and the peaches. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to a simmer for 10 minutes. Place a sieve over a bowl and pour the peach liquid from the saucepan through it. Press to extract all the juice from the peach pieces. Stir together the remaining 6 cups water, the lemon juice and the strained peach juice. Refrigerate and serve over ice.
