Equipment
- 1 Blender
- 1 Measuring cups
- 1 Measuring spoons
- 1 Large pitcher
- 1 Fine mesh strainer optional
- 1 Wooden spoon or whisk
Ingredients
- 2 large ripe peaches About 300g, pitted and chopped.
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice About 4-6 lemons.
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 cups water Divided: 1 cup for blending peaches, 3 cups for simple syrup.
- as needed cubes ice
- as desired leaves mint For garnish.
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the chopped peaches with 1 cup of water and blend until smooth. If you prefer a smoother lemonade, strain the peach puree through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl to remove the pulp.
- In a saucepan, combine the remaining 3 cups of water and the sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar has completely dissolved, creating a simple syrup.
- Once the syrup is ready, remove it from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
- In a large pitcher, combine the peach puree (or strained juice), fresh lemon juice, and the cooled simple syrup. Stir well to combine.
- Add ice cubes to the pitcher, and stir again. Taste your homemade peach lemonade and adjust sweetness by adding more sugar if necessary.
- Serve the lemonade in glasses over ice, garnished with mint leaves if desired.
Notes
For a fizzy version, substitute half of the water with sparkling water.
This lemonade can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep the ice separate to avoid dilution.
Feel free to experiment by adding other fruits like berries or cucumber for a unique twist!
