Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ripe yellow peaches, pitted and halved
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4–5 lemons)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 5 cups cold water
- 1/2 cup fresh lemonade concentrate (optional, for stronger flavor)
- Ice cubes, for serving
- Fresh mint sprigs and extra peach slices, for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups water and sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let cool.
- While syrup cools, pulse peaches in a food processor or blender until mostly smooth (or mash by hand for a chunkier texture).
- In a large pitcher, combine peach purée, lemon juice, cooled sugar syrup, remaining 3 cups water, and lemonade concentrate (if using). Stir well to combine.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness as needed. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Serve over ice, garnished with mint and peach slices.
Notes
- For a smoother texture, strain the peach purée through a fine mesh sieve before mixing.
- Store leftover lemonade in a sealed pitcher in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Want it alcoholic? Add a splash of bourbon or prosecco just before serving!
