See list below for everything you need
Prep Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 15 Mins
Serving size: 18
Ingredients:
Peach Simple Syrup
6 C/ 9 Large peaches peeled and chopped
6 C. Water ( I prefer Spring water, but tap water will work as well)
1 1/2 C. Sugar ( Regular, Brown Sugar, Honey or substitute with stevia )
Lemonade
1 C. Lemon juice, approximately 6 large lemons
9 C. Water ( Sparkling water or coconut water )
Lemon Slices for garnish
Peach Slices for garnish
Optional: Mint for garnish
Instructions:
Combine the chopped peaches, sugar and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Stirring often
Reduce to a simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until the peaches are nice and soft
Remove from heat and let cool in the fridge for about 30 minutes, once at room temp. Strain all the syrup and toss the pulp.
Juice the lemons
In a large pitcher or drink dispenser, combine the peach syrup you made, lemon juice and the water
Give it a taste and adjust to your preference.
Serve over ice and enjoy!
If you are making this for a BBQ or a get together and want to spike it, I enjoyed adding in a little vodka to it and garnishing with mint. Of course you can't forget the mason jars for serving glasses, gives it the authentic southern lemonade feel.
For a deeper, darker color use the peaches with the reddest skin and make the syrup with the skin intact.
Will be good in the fridge for up to 7 days and 2 months in the freezer. Enjoy!!! I hope you love this recipe as much as I do.
