Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Fresh peaches
- 3 large Lemons
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 8 cups Water
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 6 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and peel the peaches. Cut them into chunks, discarding the pits.
In a medium saucepan, combine the peach chunks, 1 cup of water, and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the peaches become soft, about 8-10 minutes.
Remove the peach mixture from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
Using a blender, puree the cooled peach mixture until smooth. Strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pitcher to remove any solids.
Juice the lemons and add the fresh lemon juice to the pitcher with the peach puree.
Stir in the remaining 7 cups of water. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more sugar, if desired.
Refrigerate the peach lemonade for at least 1 hour to chill and allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, add ice cubes to the pitcher or individual glasses. Garnish with mint leaves, if using.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
