Fresh Peach Lemonade Q&A
How long does peach lemonade last?
This will keep in the fridge for 3-5 days. Stir before serving.
What is it called lemonade and not lemon juice?
Lemonade originated in 1630 in Paris. Lemonade is called “lemonade” and not “lemon juice” like “orange juice”; because it is a mixture of lemon juice, sugar and water, while orange juice is generally just the juice from an orange.

what purpose does the citric acid serve?
Kadee says
It adds a bit more tart flavor, and also acts as a preservative. You can omit it if you'd like.
