Ingredients

1 recipe Homemade Lemonade (or 8 cups of your favorite lemonade)
4-5 peaches
1 tablespoon fresh mint + more for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare lemonade according to your homemade lemonade recipe or chill your favorite pre-made lemonade.

Step 3: Place the remaining peach slices into a blender along with 1 cup of the prepared lemonade and 1 tablespoon of fresh mint. Blend until smooth. For a thinner consistency, pour the blended mixture through a fine sieve or strainer.

Tips & Variations

For a sparkling version, replace some or all of the lemonade with sparkling water.

If fresh peaches aren’t available, frozen peaches can be used; thaw slightly before blending.
