Homemade Lemonade
- 8 cups homemade lemonade (or your favorite store-bought lemonade)
Peach Puree
- 4–5 fresh peaches, washed and sliced, pits removed
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves
Garnish
- Reserved 1/4 of peach slices
- Fresh lemon slices
- Mint sprigs
- Ice cubes (optional)
- Prepare Lemonade: Make your homemade lemonade according to your preferred recipe or chill your favorite store-bought lemonade, then set it aside cold.
- Slice Peaches: Wash and slice the fresh peaches, removing the pits carefully. Reserve about one quarter of these peach slices to use later in the pitcher and for garnishing the glasses.
- Blend Peach Mixture: Place the remaining peaches in a blender along with 1 cup of the prepared lemonade and 1 tablespoon of fresh mint leaves. Blend the mixture until completely smooth. For a thinner consistency, strain the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher, removing any pulp or solids.
- Combine Lemonade and Peach Puree: Pour the remaining lemonade into the pitcher with the peach puree and stir gently to combine well. Add the reserved peach slices and lemon slices to the pitcher for an attractive presentation.
- Serve: Garnish serving glasses with fresh mint sprigs and additional peach slices. You may serve the peach lemonade over ice cubes or add ice directly to the pitcher to keep the beverage chilled without diluting the flavors.
Notes
- For a sweeter drink, add honey or simple syrup to taste when blending the peaches.
- Use ripe peaches for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
- Straining the blended peach mixture is optional but recommended for a smoother texture.
- You can make the lemonade and peach puree ahead of time and combine just before serving.
- Fresh mint enhances the flavor but can be omitted if unavailable.
