Equipment

  • Blender
  • Citrus juicer or reamer
  • Fine mesh strainer (optional)
  • Medium saucepan
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • Large pitcher
  • Wooden spoon
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board

Ingredients
  

  • 3 ripe peaches peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice about 5–6 lemons
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 cups cold water
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • Optional: peach slices and lemon rounds for garnish

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Peaches

  • Slice the peaches and remove the pits. The fruit should smell fragrant and feel slightly soft to the touch, which ensures the puree will be naturally sweet and flavorful.

Step 2: Blend the Peach Puree

  • Add the sliced peaches to a blender with 1/2 cup of water and blend until completely smooth. The mixture should look thick, golden, and smell intensely fruity.

Step 3: Make a Quick Simple Syrup

  • In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and 1/2 cup water. Heat over medium heat until the sugar fully dissolves. This creates a smooth syrup that blends easily into the lemonade.

Step 4: Juice the Lemons

  • Cut the lemons in half and juice them using a citrus juicer. Fresh lemon juice is key to the bright, tangy flavor that defines this Sweet Tart Peach Lemonade Recipe.

Step 5: Combine the Lemonade

  • In a large pitcher, pour the peach puree, lemon juice, simple syrup, and remaining cold water. Stir thoroughly until everything is well combined.

Step 6: Taste and Adjust

  • Give the lemonade a quick taste. If you prefer it sweeter, add a little more syrup. If you want more brightness, a splash of lemon juice will do the trick.

Step 7: Chill and Serve

  • Add ice to the pitcher or directly into glasses. Garnish with fresh peach slices and lemon rounds before serving.

Notes

  • Use fully ripe peaches for maximum sweetness
  • Roll lemons on the counter before juicing to release more juice
  • Chill the lemonade for at least 30 minutes for deeper flavor
  • Strain the peach puree if you prefer a smoother texture
