Ingredients

Peach Lemonade

• ⅔ cup (130 g) white sugar


• 1 cup (240 ml) water


• 6 ripe peaches (about 800–900 g total), pitted and roughly chopped


• 6 medium lemons, freshly squeezed


• 5 cups (1.2 L) ice-cold water

To Serve 

•  Ice


• Fresh mint


• Fresh peach wedges


Directions

  1. Make the Peach Syrup
    In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, water, and chopped peaches.
    Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 12–15 minutes, until the peaches are very soft but not breaking down.
  2. Strain the Syrup
    Remove from heat and strain through a fine-mesh sieve.
    Press gently — do not force pulp through the sieve.
    Discard the peach solids and let the syrup cool completely.
  3. Juice the Lemons
    While the syrup cools, juice the lemons until you have about 1 to 1¼ cups (240–300 ml) of fresh lemon juice. Remove any seeds.
  4. Assemble the Lemonade
    In a large pitcher, combine the cooled peach syrup, lemon juice, and ice-cold water.
    Stir well. If needed, adjust with a small amount of sugar syrup or extra lemon juice — avoid adding plain sugar directly.
  5. Chill
    Refrigerate for 1–2 hours until fully chilled.
  6. Serve
    Fill glasses with ice, pour over the peach lemonade, and garnish with fresh mint and peach wedges if desired.

*Notes

  • Use fully ripe peaches — underripe fruit won’t give enough aroma.
  • For a more forward lemon flavor, add a strip of lemon zest to the syrup while simmering, then strain it out.
  • This lemonade keeps well refrigerated for up to 48 hours.
  • For a sparkling version, replace half of the cold water with chilled club soda at serving.
