# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Put sugar, peaches, and 2 cups of water in a pot. Heat it until it just starts boiling. Turn the heat down and let it cook for 10 minutes until peaches get soft and the sugar melts.
02 -
Blend the peach mix with an immersion blender or move it to a normal blender. Keep blending till it’s nice and smooth.
03 -
Push the peach blend through a fine strainer into a jug. Use a spoon to press gently to get all the juice out. Toss the solids and let the juice cool down completely.
04 -
Add the lemon juice and the leftover 4 cups of water to the cooled peach liquid. Taste it and add more sugar or lemon juice if you want it sweeter or tangier.
05 -
Serve over ice and throw on peach slices, lemon wheels, or fresh mint if you like.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
Sweetness depends on your peaches, so add sugar as you feel. Don’t add lemon juice before the peach mix cools or it might taste bitter.
02 -
Try swapping some water for peach nectar if you want it stronger in flavor.
03 -
A tiny bit of salt can make the sweetness pop.
