Peach and Cardamom Lemonade

August 6, 2014 by Joy the Baker 43 Comments

Peach and Cardamom Lemonade

It would seem as though I’m trying to drink my way through the rainbow, lemonade style.  First there was bright red with Beet Lemonade.  Here we have a  pretty peachy-orange color with Peach Cardamom Lemonade.  We also worked in the deep purple with Fresh Blueberry Mint Lemonade.

I’ve missed green lemonade but I figure we can work some sort of cucumber jalapeño situation into our future.

I’ll tell you now, I’m showing no signs of stopping this drinkable rainbow.  Hop on the lemonade train now!  I know you’re thirsty.

Peach and Cardamom Lemonade

This Summer is brought to you by lemons, over-ripe fruit, and a dose of sugar.  Cheers to us!

Peach and Cardamom Lemonade

Coarsely chopped peaches (super ripe, skin and all), brown sugar, ground cardamom, and fresh lemon juice.

Blend!

Peach and Cardamom Lemonade

It’s like a super lemon and peach smoothie.

Strainer to separate the skin and pulp from the juice.

Peach and Cardamom Lemonade

This lemonade is pretty even in its mess.

peach and cardamom lemonade

This concoction is a mixture of lemon tart and sweet peach.  The brown sugar adds a happy depth of sweetness and the cardamom lends that spicy finish that feels ohh so slightly like peach pie.

I went easy on the sugar in this recipe, creating a pretty pucker-y lemonade.  Add a bit more brown sugar for less pucker.

Happy August to us!

    I made this today, and it was the perfect drink to sip on while grilling dinner. Definitely more tart than sweet. It’s summer in a glass. Thank you!

    Finally a way to use the (way too many) peaches we picked that isn’t dessert or jam. Thanks for another amazing recipe!

    This looks wonderful and refreshing. Your recipe for Winter lemonade is good anytime of the year so I am betting this will be also.

    Thanks much for this recipe. I just tried it and it’s fantastic. I would love to make a big batch for a cookout. If I placed the peaches and the lemons in the juicer then added water do you think it would be the same as the original???

    This is a summer staple – perfect for when you are having children over, or people who are not drinking. I am breastfeeding, so we made this as non-boozy alternative for a party, but it was gone much more quickly than the cocktails! xx

    This recipe is absolutely lovely by itself, but I would probably add a shot of bourbon ;)
