Scale
Crafting this delightful lemonade requires just a handful of ingredients. Here’s what you need:
- 4 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4–5 lemons)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (or honey for a natural sweetener)
- 4 cups cold water
- Ice cubes for serving
- Mint leaves for garnish (optional)
If peaches aren’t in season, feel free to use frozen peaches—they work just as well!
Instructions
Now, let’s dive into the process of making this beloved beverage. It’s simple, quick, and oh-so-rewarding!
- In a blender, combine the sliced peaches and lemon juice. Blend until smooth, about 1 minute.
- Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher to remove any pulp. This step is optional if you prefer a pulpier drink.
- Add the sugar or honey to the pitcher and stir until completely dissolved.
- Pour in the cold water and stir to combine. Taste and adjust the sweetness if necessary.
- Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the peach lemonade over the top. Garnish with mint leaves if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the taste of summer in every sip!
Remember, cooking and mixing drinks are about personal taste, so don’t hesitate to tweak the sweetness to suit your preference.
