Ingredients

Scale

Fruit Ingredients

  • 4 ripe, juicy peaches (peeled if desired, pitted and sliced)
  • 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4–6 lemons)

Base Ingredients

  • 4 cups water (still or sparkling, depending on preference)
  • 3/4 cup sugar or honey (adjust to taste)
  • Ice cubes (as needed for serving)

Optional Ingredients

  • Fresh mint sprigs (for garnish and optional herbal note)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peaches: Wash, pit, and slice the fresh peaches. Peel them first if you prefer a smooth texture without pulp.
  2. Make the Lemonade Base: Squeeze fresh lemons to yield about one cup of juice. Dissolve sugar or honey into warm water to create a simple syrup, then let it cool completely.
  3. Blend Peaches and Lemonade: Combine the sliced peaches and lemonade base in a blender. Pulse until smooth with a slightly textured consistency to retain some fruit feel.
  4. Strain and Adjust: Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove any remaining pulp or solids. Taste and adjust sweetness or lemon juice if needed.
  5. Chill and Serve: Fill glasses with ice cubes, pour the peach lemonade over the ice, garnish with fresh mint or peach slices if desired, and enjoy chilled.

Notes

  • Choose fully ripe yet firm peaches for the best flavor and texture.
  • Adjust sugar and lemon juice to maintain a balanced sweetness and tartness.
  • Chill ingredients beforehand for a fresher, more vibrant drink.
  • Serve immediately or within 24 hours to preserve optimal taste.
  • Use filtered water whether still or sparkling to enhance flavor.
