Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice, about 4 to 6 lemons
- 1 cup peach syrup
- 4 cups cold water
- Ice cubes, as needed
- Peach slices and lemon slices for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Prepare the peach simple syrup according to your preferred recipe, then let it cool before mixing the lemonade.
- In a large pitcher, combine 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice and 4 cups cold water.
- Add 1 cup peach syrup to the pitcher and stir well until fully mixed.
- Taste the lemonade and adjust sweetness by adding more peach syrup, or add more cold water for a lighter drink.
- Fill glasses with ice cubes.
- Pour the peach lemonade over the ice.
- Garnish with peach slices and lemon slices, if desired.
- Serve immediately while cold.
Notes
- Use ripe, juicy peaches for the best syrup flavor. They should feel slightly soft and smell sweet.
- Taste the lemonade after mixing and adjust with more peach syrup or water as needed.
- Freshly squeezed lemon juice gives the best flavor, though bottled lemon juice can work in a pinch.
- Do not add ice to the storage pitcher because melted ice will dilute the lemonade.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and stir before serving.
