Although pink lemonade is typically made with cranberries, this recipe swaps in diced peaches for a summer twist. Basil adds a savory note to the drink, while still allowing the sweetness of the peaches to shine through.

To make a pitcher of pink peach basil lemonade, start by juicing 6-8 lemons. In a large pitcher, combine the lemon juice with 1-2 cups of diced peaches (fresh or frozen), and a handful of fresh basil leaves. Add 1-2 cups of sugar, and stir until dissolved.
