Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 recipe or 8 cups of your favorite lemonade
  • 4-5 ripe peaches
  • 1 tablespoon fresh mint plus more for garnish

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Prepare the Lemonade
  2. Follow your favorite lemonade recipe or use a store-bought version. If making homemade lemonade, combine fresh lemon juice, water, and sugar to taste. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved and refrigerate until ready to use.
  3. Step 2: Wash and Slice the Peaches
  4. Thoroughly wash 4-5 ripe peaches. Slice them into segments, removing the pits. Reserve about ¼ of the peach slices for garnish and to add to the pitcher later.
  5. Step 3: Blend Peaches and Mint
  6. Take the remaining peach slices and place them in a blender. Add 1 cup of the prepared lemonade and 1 tablespoon of fresh mint leaves.
  7. Step 4: Blend Until Smooth
  8. Blend the peach and lemonade mixture until it is completely smooth. The consistency should be thick but pourable.
  9. Step 5: Strain (Optional)
  10. For a smoother lemonade, pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh strainer or sieve into a pitcher. This step removes any remaining peach fibers and ensures a silky texture. If you prefer a slightly thicker lemonade, you can skip this step.
  11. Step 6: Combine and Chill
  12. Pour the remaining lemonade into the pitcher with the peach puree. Stir well to combine. Add the reserved peach slices and a few lemon slices for visual appeal. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  13. Step 7: Garnish and Serve
  14. Before serving, garnish glasses with fresh mint sprigs and peach slices. You can add ice to the pitcher or pour the lemonade over ice in individual glasses.
