Instructions

In a medium saucepan, combine chopped peaches, granulated sugar, and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes until the sugar dissolves and peaches soften.
Let the mixture cool for about 10 minutes, then blend it until smooth using a blender.
Pour the peach puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pitcher, pressing down to extract as much liquid as possible.
Add freshly squeezed lemon juice and 4 cups cold water to the pitcher. Stir well to combine, and taste for sweetness. Add more sugar if desired.
Refrigerate the lemonade for at least 1 hour. Serve over ice and garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired.

Notes

For a spicy twist, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or jalapeño slices.
Infuse the lemonade with herbs like basil or rosemary for a fragrant touch.
For a berry variation, add fresh strawberries or raspberries.
Mix in brewed iced tea for a Peach Iced Tea Lemonade.
For a lower-sugar version, use honey or agave syrup instead of sugar.
