Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ripe peaches, peeled and pitted
- 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4–6 lemons)
- ½ cup of honey or simple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 4 cups of cold water
- Ice cubes
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
- Peach slices and lemon wedges for garnish
Instructions
- Start by peeling and pitting the ripe peaches. Blanch in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer to ice water to easily remove skins, then chop into chunks.
- Place chopped peaches in a blender and blend until smooth. Strain through a fine sieve for a smoother texture if desired.
- In a large pitcher, mix lemon juice with honey or simple syrup, stirring until fully dissolved. Adjust sweetness to taste.
- Add the peach puree to the lemon mixture, then pour in the 4 cups of cold water and stir thoroughly.
- Pour the lemonade into glasses filled with ice cubes, garnish with mint, peach slices, and lemon wedges, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Peach lemonade is best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
- For extra fizz, substitute some water with sparkling water or club soda.
- Add herbs like basil or thyme to enhance flavor and presentation.
