Ingredients
  

2 ripe peaches, pitted and chopped

1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4-6 lemons)

1 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)

4 cups water (divided: 2 cups hot, 2 cups cold)

Ice cubes

Lemon slices and peach wedges for garnish

Fresh mint leaves (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peach Puree: In a blender, combine the chopped peaches with 1 cup of the 2 cups hot water. Blend until smooth. If you prefer a smoother texture, strain the mixture using a fine mesh sieve to remove the pulp.

    Make the Lemonade Base: In a large pitcher, dissolve the sugar in the remaining 2 cups of hot water. Stir until fully dissolved. Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and the peach puree. Mix well.

      Combine and Chill: Add 2 cups of cold water to the pitcher. Stir until well combined and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding more sugar or water. Refrigerate the lemonade for about 30 minutes or until chilled.

        Serve: Fill glasses with ice cubes, and pour the cold peach lemonade over the ice. Garnish with lemon slices, peach wedges, and fresh mint leaves if desired.

          Enjoy: Your refreshing peach lemonade is ready to serve!
