Step-by-Step Instructions for Refreshing Peach Lemonade
  1. Wash four ripe peaches thoroughly under cool, running water. Slice the peaches into wedges, discarding the pits.
  2. Juice three large lemons, aiming for about one cup of lemon juice, ensuring to catch any seeds.
  3. Combine one cup of sugar with two cups of hot water. Stir until the sugar dissolves, creating a simple syrup.
  4. Blend the sliced peaches, lemon juice, and two cups of water on high until smooth, about 30-60 seconds.
  5. If preferred, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher for a smoother texture.
  6. Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  7. Serve chilled over ice cubes, garnished with fresh mint leaves or peach slices.
