Serves 8

Ingredients

Fresh mint leaves
a handful for garnish
Ice cubes
as needed
Water
4 cups
Granulated sugar
1 cup
Juice of fresh lemons
1 cup
Fresh peaches
2, pitted and diced
Fresh strawberries
2 cups, hulled and halved

Instructions

  1. In a blender, combine the strawberries, peaches, lemon juice, sugar, and 1 cup of water. Ensure the fruits are well washed before use.
  2. Blend until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend for less time.
  3. Pour the fruity mixture into a large pitcher.
  4. Add the remaining 3 cups of water to the pitcher and stir well to combine. If you prefer a stronger or weaker flavor, adjust the water quantity accordingly.
  5. Add ice cubes to the pitcher and give it another good stir. The ice helps to cool the lemonade and further meld the flavors.
  6. Pour the strawberry peach lemonade into glasses filled with ice. This ensures a cold, refreshing drink.
  7. Garnish each glass with a sprig of fresh mint. The mint not only adds to the presentation but introduces a subtle cooling flavor that complements the fruity sweetness.

Tips

  • 💡 For a more intense flavor, let the lemonade sit in the fridge for a few hours before serving.
  • 💡 To add a twist, you can muddle a few mint leaves at the bottom of each glass before pouring in the lemonade.
  • 💡 For a low-sugar version, replace the sugar with a natural sweetener like honey or agave nectar.
