Ingredients
For the Lemonade
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4–6 lemons)
- 1 cup peach syrup (homemade or store-bought)
- 4 cups cold water
- Ice cubes, as needed
For Garnish (Optional)
- Peach slices
- Lemon slices
Instructions
- Prepare the Peach Syrup: Follow your favorite recipe (or use store-bought) to make peach syrup. For homemade, simmer chopped ripe peaches with sugar and water, then strain to obtain a sweet syrup.
- Make the Lemonade Base: In a large pitcher, combine 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice and 4 cups cold water. Mix well.
- Add the Peach Syrup: Pour in 1 cup peach syrup and stir thoroughly to combine. Taste the mixture; if desired, add more peach syrup for added sweetness or more water for a lighter taste.
- Serve: Fill glasses with ice cubes. Pour the peach lemonade over the ice, and garnish with peach slices and lemon slices if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing flavor!
Notes
- Choosing peaches: Use ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor. They should be slightly soft and fragrant.
- Adjusting sweetness: Taste the lemonade after mixing and add more peach syrup or water to suit your preference.
- Lemon juice: Freshly squeezed lemon juice yields the best taste, but bottled lemon juice can be used in a pinch.
