Ginger Peach Colorfuel Lemonade
A little peachy, a little gingery and a whole lot refreshing. This homemade lemonade starts with fresh peaches and ginger, then gets a functional boost from Colorfuel Calm — a functional blend with magnesium and calming botanicals. Bright lemon juice and a naturally sweet ginger-peach syrup make this the kind of lemonade you’ll want to sip all year long.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 ripe peaches, thinly sliced
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- ½ cup water
- 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 serving of Colorfuel Calm Lemon Ginger
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice, about 5-6 lemons
- 3 cups cold water
- ¾-1 cup ginger peach syrup, to taste
- Ice, for serving
- Fresh peach slices and lemon slices, optional for garnish
DIRECTIONS
- Make the ginger peach syrup: Add the sliced peaches, brown sugar, water and ginger to a small saucepan.
- Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring until the brown sugar dissolves.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, gently mashing the peaches with the back of a spoon as they soften.
- Remove from the heat and let the syrup steep for another 10 minutes.
- Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing gently on the peaches to extract the liquid.
- Discard the solids and allow the syrup to cool completely.
- Make the lemonade: In a large pitcher or glass, combine the lemon juice, Colorfuel Calm, 3 cups cold water and ¾ cup of the ginger peach syrup.
- Stir well and taste. Add additional syrup for a sweeter, more pronounced peach flavor.
- Fill glasses with ice and pour the ginger peach lemonade over top.
- Garnish with fresh peach and lemon slices, if desired.
