Peaches

Freshly squeezed—brings that classic tartness we all crave in lemonade.

Instructions

Let’s get this lemonade flowing—it’s so simple, you’ll be sipping in no time!

Preheat Your Equipment

No heat needed—just grab a blender, a pitcher, and your thirst!

Combine Ingredients

Peel and pit 3-4 ripe peaches (or use 2 cups frozen), then blend with 1 cup water until smooth—strain if you want it pulp-free (I like the texture!). Juice 4-5 lemons to get 1 cup fresh lemon juice. In a pitcher, mix the peach puree, lemon juice, ¾ cup sugar, and 4 cups cold water—stir until sugar dissolves completely.

Prepare Your Cooking Vessel

Your pitcher’s all you need—give it a good stir to blend those flavors.

Assemble the Dish

It’s already assembled! Taste and adjust—more sugar if you’re sweet-toothed, more lemon if you love tart.

Cook to Perfection

No cooking—just chill in the fridge for 30 minutes (or serve over ice if you can’t wait!).

Finishing Touches

Pour over ice in tall glasses, garnish with a peach slice or lemon wheel—makes it look as good as it tastes.

Serve and Enjoy

Sip it up cold—perfect with a straw and a sunny spot to relax!
