How to Make Refreshing Peach Lemonade
Step 1: Make Peach Puree
In a blender, puree the sliced peaches until smooth. If you prefer a smoother drink, strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove pulp.

In a large pitcher, combine fresh lemon juice and sugar. Stir until sugar dissolves completely.
Step 3: Mix Peach Puree and Lemonade
Add peach puree to the lemon-sugar mixture. Stir in cold water and adjust sweetness to taste.
Step 4: Serve
Fill glasses with ice, pour peach lemonade over, and garnish with peach slices, lemon wedges, and fresh mint if desired.
