1/2 to 3/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
4 cups cold water
Ice cubes
Fresh peach slices and lemon slices (for garnish, optional)
Mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions:

Prepare the Peach Puree:
- In a blender or food processor, puree the chopped peaches until smooth. If you prefer a smoother lemonade, strain the puree through a fine mesh strainer to remove any pulp. Set the peach puree aside.

Combine the Ingredients:

Add Water and Adjust Sweetness:
- Pour in the cold water and stir to combine. Taste the lemonade and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar or lemon juice if desired.
Chill and Serve:
- Refrigerate the peach lemonade for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld and to chill it thoroughly.
- Serve the lemonade over ice in tall glasses. Garnish with fresh peach slices, lemon slices, and mint leaves if desired.

Tips:

Freshness Matters: Use ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor. If fresh peaches aren’t available, you can use frozen peaches (thawed) in a pinch.
Sparkling Version: For a fizzy twist, replace half of the cold water with sparkling water or club soda just before serving.
Make Ahead: You can prepare the peach puree and lemon juice mixture a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Add the water just before serving.
