Honey Peach Lemonade

[heart_this] · Aug 13, 2015 · 5 Comments

5 minutes, 4 ingredients and a blender is all you need to make this refreshing honey peach lemonade.

So peaches are probably my favorite summer fruit. It’s a hard choice because I love strawberries, blueberries, cherries and apricots too, but peaches win. In fact, I rarely find myself baking with them because they are so sweet, juicy and delicious all by themselves, that adding other ingredients doesn’t do anything to improve them. A plain old peach is my favorite mid morning snack, afternoon snack, and late night snack.

This milkshake is AWESOME!! Like, the best one I’ve ever had! I don’t know how else to describe it. Oh I suppose I could launch into an elaborately detailed discussion about the the heavenly texture of the peanut butter cookie, the oh-so beautiful flavor of the vanilla ice cream, and the wonderful marriage of the two together in this desert, but it’s just plain yummy. The end. So instead of preaching the glories of this milkshake, (because I already know all of you are gonna try it. Who can resist a milkshake like this?) I’ll fill you in on a bit on my life.

I hope everyone had an extra enjoyable Independence Day weekend. I will say it was a bit hard to go back to work after having three lovely days off. On Saturday, Tyler and I enjoyed a day trip up to the Poconos to do some hiking and relaxing. If you’re ever in the area, stop by Bushkill Falls. There are eight gorgeous waterfalls in a two and a half mile hike. So pretty!

Mint Lemonade. Cool off on a hot afternoon with a cup of mint lemonade. It's a refreshing twist on a classic summer drink made with real lemons and fresh mint.

Mint lemonade has been a treat in my family since my brother and I discovered it a few years ago. Mint is easy to grow and was always in abundance and after a hot, sweaty afternoon working in the garden, nothing sounded better. We would grab some mint and mix it up with some powdered lemonade and sip our treat. Since then, the recipe has improved and now features fresh lemon juice and better techniques.
