→ Main Ingredients
01 -
100 g fresh peaches, sliced thin
02 -
250 g ice cubes
03 -
120 ml lemon juice, squeezed fresh
04 -
250 g pureed peaches (blend fresh or thawed peaches till smooth)
05 -
60 g white sugar
06 -
60 g honey
07 -
500 ml water
# Steps:
01 -
Finish things off by topping each glass with a couple of extra peach slices for a bright look.
02 -
Pour the drink into cups. If you like your drinks extra chilly, toss a few more cubes of ice in.
03 -
Give everything one last big stir so all the flavors come together nicely.
04 -
Try a sip—if you want it sweeter, add more honey or sugar. Stir well until it melts in.
05 -
Toss in all the peach slices and give things a gentle stir so they’re mixed through.
06 -
Now dump in the ice cubes and let them cool down the pitcher contents.
07 -
Splash in the fresh lemon juice, mix it up with the peach and syrup stuff.
08 -
Grab a large pitcher and pour in your cooled syrup and pureed peaches.
09 -
Peel, slice, and blend up your peaches (or already thawed ones) till they’re completely smooth for the puree.
10 -
Let the syrup chill out on the counter for a bit until it isn't hot anymore.
11 -
Take the pan off the heat. Stir in both the honey and sugar until you can’t see any grains.
12 -
Set a small saucepan over medium. Put in your water and boil it gently.
# Notes:
01 -
Wait until the syrup cools off before you add ice or it’ll just get watery.
02 -
If you want it silky smooth, run the peach puree through a fine strainer.
03 -
Fresh peaches really pack the most flavor, but frozen works fine too.
04 -
Taste as you go—add sweetener a bit at a time so it doesn’t end up too sugary.
05 -
Try tossing in some fresh mint if you want a refreshing twist on top.
