Ingredients
- 3 medium Fresh peaches
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 6 cups Water
- 1 cup Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 0.5 cup Fresh peach slices (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 cup Lemon slices (optional, for garnish)
- 10 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Wash the peaches thoroughly. Cut them in half, remove the pits, and slice them into smaller chunks.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the peach chunks, granulated sugar, and 1 cup of water. Heat the mixture over medium heat, and stir until the sugar dissolves and the peaches soften (about 8-10 minutes).
Step 3
Once the peaches are soft, use an immersion blender or transfer the mixture carefully to a regular blender to puree until smooth.
Step 4
Place a fine-mesh strainer over a large pitcher and pour the peach puree through the strainer. Use the back of a spoon to press the puree and extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
Step 5
Add freshly squeezed lemon juice and 4 more cups of water to the pitcher, stirring well to combine.
Step 6
Taste the lemonade, and add the remaining 1 cup of water if it is too sweet or tangy, adjusting to your preference.
Step 7
Refrigerate the peach lemonade for at least 30 minutes to chill, or serve immediately over a cup of ice cubes.
Step 8
Garnish with fresh peach slices, lemon slices, and mint leaves if desired. Serve and enjoy!
