Makhir Ginger & Peach Lemonade

Food of Gods

When peaches are in season, its time to make peach lemonade. Sweet ripe peaches. Tart lemon juice. A generous pinch of fiery Makhir Ginger. The result? A summer cooler that is bright, refreshing and just the right amount of spicy.

3 cups Peaches (about 4 big peaches sliced with skin on, chilled)
1 cup juice of Lemon
1 tsp Makhir Ginger
2 - 3 tbsps Maple Syrup (adjust as per taste)
2 cups chilled water
Ice to serve

* Makes about 1 litre

Slice the peaches and chill for a minimum 1 hour.
Freshly squeeze the juice out of the lemons.
Add the chilled peaches, lemon juice, Makhir Ginger and maple syrup to the blender.
Strain about half the peach lemonade through a sieve (or cheesecloth) to obtain a clear liquid without residues/pulp. Add back the remaining peach lemonade with the pulp and mix well. We love a little pulpy version, you may choose to strain completely to get a clear peach lemonade.
Add the chilled water and stir well.
Refrigerate and serve chilled over crushed ice.
