A refreshing twist on classic lemonade, this homemade peach lemonade combines ripe peaches and fresh lemon juice for a sweet-tart, fruity drink. Perfect for cooling off on a hot day.
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh chopped peaches (about 4 medium peaches)
- 4 cups cold water divided
- ½ cup sugar or to taste
- 1 cup lemon juice freshly squeezed
- ice for serving
- fresh mint for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Chop peaches, removing pits but leaving the skin on.
- Heat peaches, 2 cups water, and sugar over medium heat in a medium sized saucepan. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat and let simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until peaches are mushy.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature for 10 minutes. Then refrigerate until fully cooled.
- Strain the peach mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove pulp.
