How to Make Peach Lemonade
Ingredients:
- 1 recipe Homemade Lemonade (or 8 cups of your favorite lemonade)
- 4-5 peaches
- 1 Tbs fresh mint + more for garnish
Directions:
Prepare lemonade according to the directions for homemade lemonade, then set aside or chill. Wash and slice the fresh peaches and remove the pit. Reserve ¼ of the peach slices for the pitcher and garnish. Take the remaining peaches and add to a blender with 1 cup of the prepared lemonade mixture and 1 Tbs fresh mint. Blend until smooth. Pour the mixture into a pitcher; for thinner lemonade, pour through a fine strainer or sieve. Finish by adding the lemonade to the pitcher and stir to combine. Add fresh peach slices and lemon slices to make it visually appealing. Garnish glasses with fresh mint and peach slices. You can add ice to the pitcher or pour the lemonade over cups of ice to avoid having it dilute.
