Notes
- Adjusting the sweetness: Taste your peaches before blending. If they’re very sweet, you may need less sugar or no sugar at all. Regardless, it’s always best to start with less sweetener, taste it, and then gradually add more until the lemonade is just right.
- Chill before serving: For the brightest flavor, chill your peach lemonade in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving. This gives the sugar more time to dissolve and the flavors more time to meld.
- Don’t throw away the fruit pulp! You can add it to fruit smoothies (like this ginger fruit smoothie, yogurt parfaits, a bowl of strawberry oatmeal, healthy chia pudding, and more for a burst of sweet-tangy flavor.
