If I could pick one word to describe this peach lemonade it will be REFRESHING!!!! It is that drink you want to sip slowly on a hot summer day. Whilst sitting in the garden and soaking up some summer sunshine.
This recipe starts off with a fruit puree base. Peaches, pears, apricots are cooked with sugar and water over a medium heat for about 5 minutes until fruit is soft. The mixture is then blitzed in a blender. Chill fruit puree in fridge. Get a pitcher, fill with ice and then mix in fresh lemon juice and fruit puree. Finally top with sparkling water. Sugar can be swapped with any sweetener of your choice. A splash of rum or vodka and transform this peach, pear and apricot lemonade into a cocktail for the adults.
