Ingredients

Scale

Fruits

  • 3 to 4 ripe fresh peaches
  • Freshly squeezed juice of 4 to 5 lemons (about 1 cup)

Sweeteners

  • Honey, agave nectar, or simple syrup to taste (about 1/4 to 1/3 cup)

Liquids

  • 4 cups cold still or sparkling water

Others

  • Ice cubes, as needed
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish or stirring)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peaches: Wash and pit 3 to 4 ripe peaches, then slice or chop them into smaller pieces. You may peel the peaches if you prefer a smoother texture.
  2. Make Peach Puree: Place the peach slices into a blender or food processor and pulse until you achieve a smooth puree. Pulse less if you prefer a bit of texture.
  3. Mix Lemon Juice and Sweetener: In a large pitcher, combine freshly squeezed lemon juice with your choice of sweetener. Stir until the sweetener is fully dissolved.
  4. Combine Peach Puree with Lemon Mixture: Pour the peach puree into the pitcher with the lemon juice and sweetener mixture. Stir well to blend all flavors harmoniously.
  5. Add Water and Ice: Slowly stir in cold still or sparkling water to dilute the mixture to your desired strength. Add plenty of ice cubes to chill the drink immediately.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Toss in fresh mint leaves or peach slices if desired. Serve the Iced Peach Lemonade in tall glasses for a beautifully refreshing presentation.

Notes

  • Use ripe, juicy peaches for the best natural sweetness and vibrant flavor.
  • Adjust sweetness gradually to balance the tartness of the lemons according to your taste.
  • Chill lemon juice and water beforehand to keep the drink refreshing and avoid diluting the flavor.
  • If you prefer a pulp-free drink, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve before serving.
  • Always use fresh lemon juice for a crisp, fresh citrus flavor.
