Strawberry Peach Lemonade
Using fresh peach juice and strawberries makes this the best strawberry peach lemonade ever! It's quick and easy with just 4 ingredients plus water. (Gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan)
Ingredients
- ⅔ c Strawberries, diced
- ⅓ c Peaches, diced
- ½ c Fresh Lemon Juice
- ¼ c Maple syrup
- 4 c Water, divided
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, add 2 cups of water and maple syrup. Stir over low heat until dissolved.
- Add strawberries and peaches to the pan. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to let mixture simmer for 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent boiling over.
- Remove from stove and let fruit juice cool to room temperature. Pour into a blender or use an immersion blender and blend well until smooth.
- Pour strawberry peach juice into a large pitcher. Add lemon juice and remaining 2 cups of water and stir well. Taste and add extra lemon or maple syrup to taste.
- Keep refrigerated until ready to serve. Place pitcher on ice or add ice cubes right before serving. Garnish with mint sprigs, sliced strawberries, peaches and lemon wedges.
Notes
Fresh or frozen fruit works equally well. If fruit is frozen, you don't need to dice it. Frozen fruit thaws to a softer consistency and purees easier.
If the fruit mixture is not as smooth as you would like, strain it before adding to the pitcher.
