| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Prepare the Peach Syrup: In a saucepan, combine the peeled and sliced peaches, granulated sugar, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the sugar to fully dissolve. |
| 2 | Strain the Mixture: Once the peach mixture has simmered, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly. Then, using a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl, strain the mixture, pressing down on the peach solids to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the solids and reserve the strained peach syrup. |
| 3 | Add Lemon Juice: Stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice into the strained peach syrup, combining them well to ensure a harmonious blend of flavors. Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness or tartness by adding more sugar or lemon juice, according to your preference. |
| 4 | Serve Chilled: Pour the peach lemonade into tall glasses filled with ice cubes, allowing the coolness to enhance the refreshing experience. Optionally, garnish each glass with a sprig of fresh mint or a slice of peach for an extra touch of elegance and flavor. |
| 5 | Enjoy: Sip and savor the delightful taste of Peach Lemonade, relishing in its fruity sweetness and invigorating citrus notes. Share this refreshing beverage with loved ones, spreading joy and refreshment with every sip. |
