Description
Refreshing Peach Lemonade is a sweet, tart, and fruity summer drink made with fresh peaches, lemon juice, simple syrup, cold water, and ice. It has a bright citrus flavor, fresh peach aroma, and a smooth or lightly pulpy texture depending on preference.
Ingredients
4 to 5 fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup water
1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice, about 4 to 6 lemons
3 to 4 cups cold water, or to taste
Ice, for serving
Instructions
1. Combine the sugar and 1 cup water in a saucepan over medium heat.
2. Stir until the sugar fully dissolves to create a simple syrup.
3. Add the sliced peaches to the syrup.
4. Simmer until the peaches turn soft and fragrant.
5. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool.
6. Blend the peach mixture until smooth.
7. Strain the mixture if you want a smoother texture.
8. Add the peach puree, lemon juice, and cold water to a large pitcher.
9. Stir well, then taste and adjust sweetness or dilution as needed.
10. Chill in the refrigerator.
11. Serve over ice.
Notes
Straining the blended peaches is optional.
Leave the puree unstrained for a slightly pulpy texture.
Adjust sugar based on the sweetness of the peaches.
Fresh lemon juice gives the best flavor, but bottled lemon juice works if needed.
Chill thoroughly before serving for the best taste.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days.
Stir before serving because the peach puree may settle.
Frozen peaches can replace fresh peaches if needed.
Adjust the water for a stronger or lighter flavor.
