How to Make Peach Lemonade
Step 1: Add 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar, and the sliced peaches to a medium saucepan.
Step 2: Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Simmer for 15-20 minutes until the peach mixture thickens.
Step 3: Strain the peach syrup through a fine mesh sieve, pressing down on the peaches to release all the juice. Discard the peach pulp and allow the syrup to cool.
Step 4: Combine the peach syrup, lemon juice, and 5 cups of water in a large pitcher and stir well.
Step 5: Serve the peach lemonade over ice and garnish with fresh lemon or peach slices.
Tips & Tricks
- If you don’t have peaches, try substituting nectarines, strawberries, or mangos in this recipe.
- If you prefer your lemonade a bit more tart, you can reduce the sugar slightly in the peach syrup.
- Turn this drink into a boozy summer cocktail by adding a shot of regular or peach vodka. You can also add a sugar rim and garnish with some mint leaves.
Store your lemonade refrigerated in a large pitcher with a lid. It should keep for 4-5 days. Don’t add the ice until just before serving.
We recommend you use fresh lemons. They give this drink such a delicious flavor that it’s well worth the effort of squeezing your own.
