Homemade Peach Lemonade
A fresh pitcher drink made by blending and straining peaches with lemon and sugar, then diluting with cold water.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces ripe peaches, pitted and chopped
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice
- 3/4 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
- 4 cups water
Instructions
- Wash four peaches, remove pits, and chop the flesh. Put fruit, measured fresh lemon juice, and sugar in a blender; blend until smooth.
- Set a fine-mesh strainer over a pitcher and strain the mixture, pressing gently to collect the juice while leaving coarse solids behind.
- Stir in four cups cold water. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired, making sure any added sugar dissolves.
- Pour into four generous servings over ice. Refrigerate the covered pitcher and stir before later pours.
Notes
Refrigerate in a covered pitcher and use within three days.
Stir before serving; this is not a shelf-stable canning recipe.
