Directions
1. Make the Peach Syrup
- In a medium saucepan, combine the peaches, sugar, and 1 cup of the water.

- Remove the saucepan from heat.
- Use an immersion blender (or carefully transfer to a regular blender) to puree the peach mixture until smooth.
3. Strain for a Smooth Lemonade
- Pour the peach puree through a fine mesh strainer into a large bowl or pitcher, pressing down gently to extract as much liquid as possible.
- Discard any solids.
- Let the strained peach syrup cool completely.
4. Mix the Lemonade
- Once cooled, combine the peach syrup with the fresh lemon juice and the remaining 4 cups of water in a large pitcher.
- Stir until everything is well blended.
5. Serve and Enjoy!
