Ingredients
- 3 to 4 ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 1/2 cups water, divided
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 6 lemons)
- Ice, for serving
- Fresh peach slices, for garnish
- Fresh lemon slices, for garnish
Method
- Put the peach slices, sugar, and 1 cup of the water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves and the peaches soften, about 8 minutes.
- Take off the heat and let cool for 10 minutes. Blend until smooth, then strain through a fine sieve into a large pitcher, pressing on the solids. Discard the solids.
- Stir in the lemon juice and the remaining 3 1/2 cups cold water.
- Taste and adjust: add more water for a lighter drink or a little more lemon juice for sharpness.
- Chill until cold, at least 1 hour. Serve over plenty of ice, garnished with fresh peach and lemon slices.
