Peach Lemonade
Description
The recipe starts by washing, pitting, and roughly chopping ripe peaches which are then pureed into a smooth consistency. The puree is strained through a fine mesh or jelly bag to remove solids, leaving a silky peach juice. Freshly squeezed lemon juice and filtered water are combined with the peach puree to create the lemonade base. Sugar can be added sparingly, depending on the peach sweetness and personal preference.
This approach emphasizes pure fruit flavor and natural acidity without relying on artificial syrups. The well-strained puree ensures a smooth texture without pulp or fragments. Serving over ice keeps the drink cool and crisp, and garnish with fresh peach slices and mint enhances visual appeal and aroma.
Peach Lemonade is a simple way to showcase seasonal peaches in a balanced, tangy beverage suitable for casual refreshment or accompaniment to light meals. It can be prepared ahead and chilled for serving.
Ingredients
- 5 peach fresh ripe, plus more for optional garnish
- 1 cup lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1 qt water filtered
- sugar to taste, only if necessary
garnish, optional
- peach sliced
- mint fresh
Instructions
- Wash and pit the peaches. Cut them in large chunks and puree until completely smooth in a food processor or blender.
- Strain the mixture through a nylon jelly bag or a mesh strainer, pushing through as much peach puree as you can and discard the solids. You should have at least 1¼ cups of puree.
- Mix the lemon juice and water along with the peach puree. Don't add all of the puree at once, you may not need it all.
- Stir to combine and taste to see if you'd like to add sugar to sweeten. Refrigerate until cold.
- Serve over ice with fresh mint and peach slices, if desired.
