Ingredients

Scale

Fruit Base

  • 4 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced
  • 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4–6 lemons)

Sweetener and Liquid

  • 1 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 4 cups cold water

Garnishes

  • Ice cubes
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
  • Peach slices for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash Peaches: Thoroughly wash the peaches under running water to remove any dirt or residues ensuring clean fruit for the drink.
  2. Remove Pits: Slice the peaches in half and carefully remove the pits from each half.
  3. Slice Peaches: Cut the peach halves into smaller slices so they blend more easily and evenly.
  4. Blend Peaches: Place the peach slices into a blender. For a smoother puree, optionally add a tablespoon of water. Blend on high speed for 30 seconds to one minute until smooth.
  5. Strain Puree: Pour the peach puree through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl or pitcher. Use a spatula to press through as much juice as possible, removing pulp and skin.
  6. Juice Lemons: Roll lemons on the countertop to release more juice, then squeeze to obtain about 1 cup of fresh lemon juice.
  7. Strain Lemon Juice: Pass the lemon juice through a fine mesh sieve to eliminate seeds and pulp for clarity.
  8. Prepare Lemonade Base: In a pitcher, combine the strained lemon juice and granulated sugar. Stir until sugar is completely dissolved.
  9. Add Water: Add the cold water to the pitcher and stir thoroughly to mix with the lemon-sugar base.
  10. Combine Peach Puree with Lemonade: Pour the strained peach puree into the lemonade pitcher, scraping out any remaining puree to maximize flavor.
  11. Mix Drink: Gently stir the peach puree into the lemonade until fully incorporated and uniform in color.
  12. Adjust Flavor: Taste the mixture and add more sugar if you prefer it sweeter or add more water to dilute if it is too tart.
  13. Chill: Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 1 to 2 hours to allow flavors to meld and the drink to chill.
  14. Serve: Fill glasses about three-quarters full with ice cubes and pour the chilled peach lemonade over the ice.
  15. Garnish and Enjoy: Add fresh peach slices and mint leaves for garnish if desired, then serve immediately for a refreshing summer sip.

Notes

  • You can adjust the sugar quantity depending on the sweetness of your peaches or your personal preference.
  • For a smoother drink, ensure you strain the peach puree well to remove skin and pulp.
  • If you prefer a fizzy version, substitute cold water with sparkling water.
  • Using freshly squeezed lemon juice is crucial for bright and natural lemon flavor.
  • Store any leftover drink covered in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days for freshness.
