Ingredients

Scale

Peach Puree

  • 4 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced

Citrus & Sweetener

  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 46 lemons)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)

Liquid

  • 4 cups filtered water (divided)
  • Ice cubes for serving

Instructions

  1. Puree the Peaches: In a blender, puree the sliced peaches until smooth. For a silkier texture, strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove pulp and skin.
  2. Juice the Lemons: Juice the lemons until you have about 1 cup of fresh lemon juice, ensuring to strain out any seeds or pulp.
  3. Make Simple Syrup: In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of water with the sugar over medium heat, stirring frequently until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let the syrup cool to room temperature.
  4. Combine Ingredients: In a large pitcher, combine the peach puree, fresh lemon juice, cooled sugar syrup, and the remaining 3 cups of cold water. Stir thoroughly to blend all flavors evenly.
  5. Serve: Fill tall glasses with ice cubes and pour the peach lemonade over the ice. Garnish with fresh mint leaves or lemon slices if desired, and serve chilled for a refreshing treat.

Notes

  • You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar based on taste preferences.
  • For a smoother lemonade, straining the peach puree is recommended but optional.
  • Use ripe, fragrant peaches for the best flavor.
  • This lemonade can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; stir well before serving.
  • For a fizzy version, substitute some of the water with sparkling water just before serving.
