  • Fresh mint leaves and peach slices optional, for garnish

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Make the peach puree:
  2. In a blender, combine the sliced peaches with 1/2 cup of water. Blend until smooth. Strain the puree through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl to remove pulp. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the lemon syrup:

  5. Mix the lemonade:
  6. In a large pitcher, combine the peach puree, lemon juice, cooled sugar syrup, and the remaining 4 cups of cold water. Stir well to mix.
  7. Chill and serve:
  8. Refrigerate the lemonade for at least 30 minutes to chill. Serve over ice, garnished with fresh mint leaves and peach slices if desired.
