Lemon slices, optional for garnish
Instructions
1. Prepare the peach syrup in advance.

Notes
Use ripe, fragrant peaches when making the syrup for the best flavor.
Adjust sweetness to taste by increasing or decreasing the amount of peach syrup.
Freshly squeezed lemon juice gives the brightest flavor, though bottled juice can work if needed.
Store in a covered pitcher or jar in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days.
Stir before serving.
Frozen peaches can be used for the syrup after thawing.
Honey may replace sugar in the peach syrup, adjusted to taste.
Try sparkling water, fresh herbs, berries, or spirits for fun variations.
