Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ripe peaches, sliced
- 3 large lemons, juiced (about 1 cup)
- 1 cup sugar (or honey/agave to taste)
- 2 cups water (plus more for blending)
- Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Wash and slice the peaches into wedges.
- Juice the lemons until you have around one cup of lemon juice, removing any seeds.
- In a bowl, combine the sugar with two cups of water and stir until fully dissolved to make a simple syrup.
- In a blender, add the peach slices, lemon juice, and two cups of water. Blend until the mixture is smooth and vibrant.
- For a smoother texture, strain the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher.
- Chill the lemonade in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Serve over ice in tall glasses, garnished with mint leaves or extra peach slices if desired.
Notes
- Use ripe peaches for maximum flavor—they should be fragrant and slightly soft.
- Start with less sugar and adjust to taste if needed.
- Add sparkling water for a fizzy version.
- Store in the fridge for up to 3 days and stir before serving.
- You can use frozen peaches if fresh are not available.
