Peach Puree
- 4 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced
Citrus & Sweetener
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4–6 lemons)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
Liquid
- 4 cups filtered water (divided)
- Ice cubes for serving
- 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.
- Juice the Lemons: Juice the lemons until you have about 1 cup of fresh lemon juice, ensuring to strain out any seeds or pulp.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
