Fresh Peach Lemonade
Prep time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 10 Minutes
Yields: 5 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups water, divided
- 2 medium peaches, washed and chopped
- ¾ to a cup sugar
- 3/4 cup lemon juice (about 4-5 lemons)
- Zest of one lemon
- 1 medium lemon, slices
Equipment
- Measuring cup
- zester
- knife
- cutting board
- small saucepan
- large spoon for stirring
Directions
In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups water, peaches, lemon zest, and sugar to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes or until peaches are tender. Remove from heat. Allow to cool, then strain the mixture, discarding peach skins.
In a large pitcher, combine peach mixture, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and the remaining 2 cups water. Add lemon slices and garnish with mint if desired. Serve over ice.
Notes
Depending on how sweat your peaches you may adjust the amount of sugar, ¾ cup up to 1 cup.
You can blend the peach mixture after cooling if you don’t want it chunky. Simply blend in a blender or use an immersion blender. You can also strain the mixture to remove the peach chunks if you prefer.
Mix it up and garnish with a spring of rosemary or thyme or rim your serving cup with flavored sugar or chili powder.
