Ingredients
Scale
- 4–5 ripe peaches
- 4–5 lemons
- 1 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
- 4–5 cups cold water (or sparkling water for a fizzy twist)
- Fresh mint leaves (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Peaches: Start by washing 4-5 ripe peaches. Cut them in half, remove the pit, and chop them into smaller pieces.
- Blend the Peaches: In your blender, add the chopped peaches along with 1 cup of water. Blend until you achieve a smooth puree, about 30 seconds.
- Strain the Puree (optional): If you prefer a pulp-free lemonade, pour the peach puree through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl or pitcher. Use a spatula to press the puree and extract as much juice as possible.
- Juice the Lemons: While the peach puree is straining, take about 4-5 lemons and juice them using your juicer. You should have roughly 1 cup of fresh lemon juice.
- Combine Ingredients: In the pitcher, mix the peach juice, lemon juice, and 1 cup of sugar (adjust to taste). Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Add Water: Pour in 4-5 cups of cold water (or sparkling water for a fizzy twist) to dilute the mixture. Taste and adjust the sweetness or tartness as needed.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the peach lemonade for at least 30 minutes to chill. When ready to serve, pour over ice and garnish with peach slices and mint leaves!
Notes
Use local peaches for better flavor. Adjust sweetness to your liking.
