Wash the peaches thoroughly, then pit and chop them into small pieces.
In a small saucepan, combine the chopped peaches, sugar, and 1 cup of water. Add the rosemary sprigs to the pan.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally, allowing the peaches to soften, and the sugar to dissolve completely (approximately 7-10 minutes).
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool for about 10 minutes. Strain the peach-rosemary syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl or pitcher, pressing the peaches gently to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the solids.
Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice to the peach-rosemary syrup and stir until well combined.
Pour the mixture into a large pitcher, then add the remaining 4 cups of cold water. Stir gently to combine.
To serve, fill glasses with ice and garnish with peach slices, lemon slices, and a sprig of rosemary. Pour the rosemary peach lemonade over the ice and enjoy!
