Summer Day Sipping: Peach-Honey Lemonade




Izzy was in the mood to squeeze lemons and I had some peaches that had to be eaten.




15 minutes of squeezing, chopping, and blending is just enough time to create a lovely pitcher of summer.



Peach-Honey Lemonade

Ingredients

1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 peaches, peeled, chopped, blended and strained
1/4 cup honey
1/8 cup sugar
3 cups water
1 cup of ice plus extra for glasses
thyme, mint or basil for garnish (optional)


1. Mix lemon juice with honey and sugar and stir vigorously.
2. Add water and stir again.
3. Stir in peaches and herbs.
4. Add ice.
5. Pour into glasses filled with ice and garnish with more fresh herbs.

Peach and Lemon - together or apart - are two of my favorite flavors. I'll be saving this recipe!

Also, I love your sink! Would it be weird of me to ask for a picture of it to show my husband? I'd love to have one in my kitchen, too!

Amy: I will try to photograph the sink upon my return. My husband traveled 2 hours each way to find it, in Pennsylvania. Vintage 30's maybe?
