I have not tried a peach lemonade before, but it sounds like a wonderful idea! It definitely looks gorgeous! I saw the photo on Pinterest, and it was so beautiful that I just had to come here to read the recipe! And I love it – so simple! And love your site :-).
Now that I’m here, I would like to invite you to share your recipes on a new photo based recipe sharing site that launched in May. The idea is simple: all recipe photographs are published within minutes of submission. And, of course, the images link back to the author’s site. It’s called RecipeNewZ (with Z) – http://recipenewz.com

Love the description of the rosemary dancing around on your tongue–it does! Appetizing pic, too. Nice to find your site.

Wendy,

I don’t know the variety of the peach but they are the traditional color. You certainly could use nectarines or peacharines. I hope you give it a try. Thanks for reading! 🙂

What variety of peaches did you use? I would imagion you would get different juice colours from a Black Boy Peach than a Golden Queen?
Here in NZ we get a good run of fresh peaches, generally from Late december until early march depending on the season and variety.
Could you use Necatrines or Peacharines?
The concept of the American Iced Tea hasn’t really sparked here but I think this recipe I am going to file away till summer (we are in the start of Winter here so soups and stews are the go at the moment)

Michelle,

I’ve never had strawberry basil lemonade but strawberry basil is a perfect pairing. It would be fantastic! 🙂

Summer in a pitcher? YES PLEASE. That looks fantastic! Now you’ve got me thinking of other possible lemonade fruit herbal concoctions.(Strawberry basil lemonade maybe?)

In reply to Jean. When you think about it, calling it lemonade sort of makes sense when you look at orangeade. :)

Michele,

I’m on a campaign to celebrate the simplicity of good, honest food. Let’s celebrate it and not shun it or disrespect it.

I’m always inspired by your comments, sweet Michele! 🙂

In reply to Philip.

Philip,

Thanks for catching my mistake! I meant to type “1 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice”. I always make my lemonade with a 1:1:1 ratio of water, sugar and lemon juice. By the time you the prepared lemonade over lots of ice, it comes out just right. If you don’t like a lot of ice in your glass, you may want to increase the amount of water just a tad. For this particular recipe, you’ll get a good bit of juice from the peaches so I wouldn’t add more water. Just taste it and make it to your liking.

I hope you enjoy, Philip! 🙂

This looks delicious! Its an unusually hot day here, and I want to make this right away! Confused a little though:

Did you mean to write “1 cup lemonade”, or “1 cup lemon juice” ?
If its “lemonade”, do you really want to add that cup of sugar?
If its “lemon juice” shouldn’t I be adding more water?

Thanks for the help!

Love this Jackie! Simply elegant! Some folks think simple peach lemonade is making lemonade from frozen concentrate and throwing in some canned (or maybe even frozen) peaches. I KNOW you are not in that number! IMHO you have indeed taken Peach Lemonade to “a whole new level” and here’s why:
“I steeped peaches and rosemary in simple syrup to get a deeper infusion of flavor. And just look at that gorgeous color. You can’t get that from a canned product.
Don’t be thrown off by rosemary. It doesn’t over power the flavor of the peaches and lemons. It stays in the background and just dances lightly on your tongue.”
Do you realize how many cooks out there would have no earthly idea what you’re talking about?
I’m totally with you, dear Jackie, in loving and appreciating simplicity 🙂
“In cooking, as in the arts, simplicity is a sign of perfection.”

I’m quite sure that there are those out there (especially the media-hungry types) who think they have to make it complicated and bizarre and “sophisticated” to get our attention. Alas.
LOVE you precious friend and soul sistah! xoxoxoxo

Morning Jackie….Wish I had some of that lemonade now. I have been to Oz and they do quite differently from us but never did order lemonade while I was there. Nothing any better than a peach picked from your own tree that has been allowed to ripen. Fuzz and all!

Maureen,

So Sprite is lemonade in Oz? I never knew that. Thanks for the lesson. 🙂

It’s been quite a while since I was south of the Mason-Dixon line but I still remember learning to drink “sweetea”. It was never two words in Georgia or Tennessee when I was there. 🙂

I love your lemonade. Imagine my shock at seeing it on the menu in Australia only to find it was Sprite.
