Ingredients
  

Peach Puree
  • 4-5 pieces Ripe Peaches Look for fruits that are firm yet slightly soft for the sweetest flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar Enhances peachiness; swap with honey for a natural alternative.
  • 1 cup Water Ensures the peaches cook down beautifully; use room temperature for easy mixing.
  • 1/2 cup Fresh Lemon Juice Adds bright acidity to balance the sweetness; fresh lemons maximize flavor.
Simple Syrup
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar Sweetens your lemonade; adjust with alternative sweeteners to fit dietary needs.
  • 1/2 cup Water Aids in dissolving the sugar completely for a smooth mixture.
Lemonade Mix
  • 4 cups Cold Water Adjusts the drink's consistency; start with four cups and modify to taste.
Garnishing
  • 1/2 cup Fresh Peach Slices Adds delightful visual appeal and an extra burst of fresh flavor.
  • 1 cup Lemon Wheels or Wedges Provides a classic look and additional citrus zing.
  • 1/2 cup Fresh Mint Sprigs Introduces aromatic freshness; muddle for more intense flavor.
  • 1 cup Ice Cubes Keeps your Sweet & Tart Peach Lemonade refreshingly chilled.

Equipment

  • saucepan
  • Potato Masher
  • Fine sieve

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Wash, pit, and dice the ripe peaches. In a medium saucepan, combine with sugar, water, and fresh lemon juice. Simmer for 10-15 minutes until peaches are soft.
  2. Mash the mixture to create a chunky puree. Strain through a fine sieve into a bowl and allow to cool to room temperature.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine equal parts sugar and water over medium heat, stirring until sugar fully dissolves and cool completely.
  4. Juice the fresh lemons to get approximately one cup of lemon juice. Strain to remove pulp and seeds, then mix with cooled simple syrup in a large pitcher.
  5. Add peach puree to the lemonade base and gradually mix in cold water, adjusting sweetness and tanginess to taste.
  6. Chill the assembled lemonade in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Serve over ice with garnishes.
