Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large ripe peaches, peeled and pitted
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4–6 lemons)
- 3/4 cup honey or simple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 4 cups cold water
- Ice cubes
- Fresh mint leaves (optional for garnish)
- Additional peach slices and lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Begin by blending the peeled peaches in a blender until smooth. For a silky texture, strain the pureed peaches through a fine sieve to remove any pulp or skin bits, optional.
- In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, honey or simple syrup, and the peach pureé. Stir well until the sweetener is fully dissolved.
- Pour in the cold water and mix thoroughly. Taste and adjust sweetness with more honey if needed. Chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours to let flavors meld.
- Fill glasses with ice cubes, pour the peach lemonade, and garnish with fresh mint, peach slices, or lemon wedges. Serve immediately for optimal refreshment.
Notes
- Use ripe, juicy peaches for maximum flavor and sweetness.
- Adjust the sweetener based on your preference.
- For a fizzier drink, add sparkling water just before serving.
- Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; freeze leftovers for icy treats.
