Ingredients

Scale

Peach Puree:

  • 6–8 ripe large peaches (about 3 pounds)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Simple Syrup:

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup water

Lemonade Base:

  • 1 1/2 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 4–6 cups cold water

Garnish:

  • Fresh peach slices
  • Lemon wheels or wedges
  • Fresh mint sprigs
  • Ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Prepare Peaches & Peach Syrup: Wash, pit, and dice 6-8 ripe peaches. In a medium saucepan, combine diced peaches, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup water, and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice. Simmer over medium-low heat for 10-15 minutes until peaches are very soft.
  2. Make & Cool Peach Puree: Remove from heat, mash peaches thoroughly, then strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl to extract the smooth peach puree. Discard solids. Allow the peach puree to cool completely to room temperature.
  3. Prepare Simple Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 cup water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and cool completely.
  4. Prepare Lemonade Base: Juice 8-10 medium lemons to yield about 1 1/2 cups fresh lemon juice; strain to remove any seeds or pulp. In a large pitcher, combine the cooled simple syrup with the strained lemon juice. Stir well.
  5. Assemble Lemonade: Add the cooled peach puree to the lemonade base in the pitcher. Stir vigorously to combine. Begin by adding 4 cups of cold water, stir, and taste. Gradually add more cold water (up to 6 cups total) until your desired strength and sweetness are reached.
  6. Chill & Serve: Refrigerate the peach lemonade for at least 30 minutes to thoroughly chill. Serve over plenty of ice, garnished with fresh peach slices, lemon wheels, and mint sprigs. For a sparkling version, replace some or all of the dilution water with sparkling water or club soda.
