Peach Lemonade

In my 3+ years of blogging, I've only posted two drink recipes.

This one is my fourth this month!

A refreshing drink is an essential part of the Iftar spread and it was fun this year to try some new drink recipes. Peaches are my favourite fruit so a peach lemonade experiment was bound to happen and I'm happy to report it was a huge success. This lemonade is packed with fresh fruity flavour and though it might a bit of extra work, it beats any packaged drink mix out there.

This post might just be my favourite because not only was the lemonade delicious, but just look at those sunflowers!
