Update and Redux: C – Since I can’t find any of my husband’s favorite peach lemonade in stores, I will have to make it myself. I think it’s better this way anyway. I can control the amount of sugar and flavor. Plus it’s super easy especially with all the stone fruit that’s everywhere. Yay! Summer!
C – Peach lemonade is my fiance’s favorite drink.
Every year, we stock pile bottles and bottles of peach lemonade, so he can drink it year round. The peach lemonade brand he likes is seasonal. It’s not a year round thing.
But, I am not a big fan of the lemonade, since I like to make things from scratch.
I need to stop this stock piling and show him what real peach lemonade tastes like.
This lemonade is great. It’s not too sweet. Super peachy and refreshing. It’s like I am drinking a light peach.
I also love the pink color of this lemonade. After a few hours of steeping the peaches in the lemonade it becomes even prettier. I love this lemonade. I think my fiance will love it too.

I guess I need to stock pile peaches in the freezer, if I want to stop the bottled peach lemonade supply.
Hmmm … I don’t think I thought this through well enough.
