Ingredients
  

4 ripe peaches, pitted and diced

1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4-6 lemons)

1 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)

4 cups cold water

1 cup ice cubes

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Lemon slices (for garnish)

Optional: 1-2 sprigs of rosemary or basil for flavor variation

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peaches: In a blender, combine the diced peaches with 1 cup of cold water. Blend until smooth. You can strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve if you prefer a clearer juice or leave it as is for added fiber.

    Make the Lemonade Base: In a pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice and granulated sugar. Stir well until the sugar has completely dissolved.

      Combine the Ingredients: Add the peach puree to the lemonade base, and then add the remaining 3 cups of cold water. Stir everything together until well mixed. Taste the lemonade and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding more sugar or water.

        Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the peach lemonade for at least 30 minutes to chill. When ready to serve, pour the lemonade over ice cubes in glasses.

          Garnish: Add a few fresh mint leaves, lemon slices, and if desired, a sprig of rosemary or basil for an aromatic touch. Enjoy your refreshing drink!
