• porciones: 6 servings
• tiempo activo: 5 minutes
• tiempo total: 20 minutes

Ingredientes

1 ⅙ lb peaches (peeled and chopped, 3 large peache/2 cups chopped)

2 cups water

1/2 cup sugar (regular sugar, brown sugar, honey, or even a sugar-free option like erythritol/stevia)

1/3 cup lemon juice (2 lemons)

3 cups water (water, sparkling water, coconut water, or even a combination of water and alcohol, around 1/4 cup)

lemon slices from one lemon (and/or some peach slices)

To garnish (optional - mint)

ice cubes (optional)

Instrucciones

Combine the chopped peaches, ½ cup sugar, and 2 cups water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring often.

Reduce to a simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until the peaches are becoming mushy.

Remove it from the heat, cool for 30 minutes (to room temperature), then strain through a sieve.

Juice the lemons using one of these 6 methods.I highly recommend zesting the lemons first, so you can save it for other uses or even use some lemon peel twirls as a garnish for peach drinks and other drinks and desserts.

In a large pitcher, combine the peach syrup (there should be around 1 cup), lemon juice, and 3 cups of water/sparkling water, and stir.

Give it a taste and adjust any of the elements (syrup, citrus, water) to your liking.If you plan to serve it all immediately, you can also add ice directly to the pitcher. I usually recommend adding the ice to individual glasses, though, so the entire batch doesn't become watered down.

How to Make Ahead and Store?

Make ahead: you can prepare the syrup several days in advance and keep it stored in the refrigerator. It will last for around 2 weeks in total in the fridge. Store: you can store the prepared peach lemonade in the fridge for between 5-7 days. If you add any fresh fruits or herbs to the lemonade, swap these out daily. Otherwise, aim to consume the entire batch within 1-2days.
