Ingredients
Scale
Fruit Base
- 4 cups frozen peach slices (about 1 pound)
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (from about 6–8 lemons)
- 1 cup water
Sweeteners
- ½ cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- Optional: 2 tablespoons honey or agave nectar (for extra sweetness)
Garnishes
- Optional: Fresh mint sprigs, for garnish
- Optional: Lemon slices, for garnish
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a high-powered blender, add the frozen peach slices, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and water to create the base of your lemonade.
- Add Sweetener: Pour in the granulated sugar, starting with ½ cup, along with honey or agave nectar if you prefer additional natural sweetness.
- Blend: Blend the mixture until completely smooth, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides. Adjust consistency by adding water tablespoon by tablespoon if it’s too thick, or more frozen peach slices if too thin.
- Taste and Adjust: Sample your lemonade and fine-tune the sweetness or tartness by adding more sugar, honey, or lemon juice as desired.
- (Optional) Strain: For a super smooth texture, pour the blended lemonade through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any pulp or ice bits.
- (Optional) Re-blend with Ice: To further smooth the texture, re-blend with a handful of ice carefully, avoiding watering down the lemonade too much.
- Serve: Chill your glasses in the freezer for 15-20 minutes, then pour in the lemonade. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs and lemon slices before serving immediately for the best refreshing experience.
Notes
- Adjust sugar and lemon juice to suit your taste, especially if your peaches are sweeter or tarter.
- Using frozen peaches creates a naturally chilled drink without needing additional ice, but adding ice can make the texture smoother.
- Straining is optional depending on your preference for texture.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the freshest flavor and chill.
