Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Wash, pit, and dice the peaches. In a saucepan, combine diced peaches with granulated sugar, water, and lemon juice. Simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally for 10-15 minutes until soft.
- Remove from heat, mash the peach mixture until smooth, strain through a sieve, and allow to cool completely.
- In another saucepan, combine sugar and water over medium heat. Stir until sugar dissolves and mixture is clear, about 3-5 minutes. Cool completely.
- Juice lemons to yield about 1.5 cups of fresh juice; strain to remove seeds. Combine lemon juice with cooled simple syrup in a pitcher.
- Mix the cooled peach puree into the lemonade base and stir in cold water gradually, tasting to reach desired flavor.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to meld flavors. Serve over ice and garnish with peach slices, lemon wheels, and mint.
