# Ingredients:
→ Peach Raspberry Mix
01 -
1 1/4 cups water
02 -
1 cup fresh raspberries
03 -
4 ripe peaches, pitted and chopped into big pieces
→ Sweet Syrup
04 -
1/2 cup water
05 -
1/2 cup white sugar
→ Drinks Base
06 -
1 1/4 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4 lemons)
07 -
7 cups cold water
08 -
ice cubes
09 -
extra raspberries (optional, for decoration)
10 -
peach slices (optional, for decoration)
11 -
sprigs of mint (optional, for decoration)
# Steps:
01 -
Throw the peaches, raspberries, and water into a blender or food processor, then blend until smooth.
02 -
Put a sieve on top of a big bowl and pour the blended peach raspberry mix through. Use a large spoon to press down and collect the liquid, leaving behind seeds and skin.
03 -
Get rid of the leftover pulp from the sieve, then set the bowl with the liquid aside for later.
04 -
In a small pot, combine sugar with 1/2 cup water. Heat over medium, stirring now and then, until the sugar dissolves, and you’re left with a syrupy texture (takes about 3 minutes). Let it cool a bit.
05 -
In a big pitcher, add cold water, lemon juice, and plenty of ice. Pour in the syrup and raspberry peach liquid, then stir until everything combines nicely.
06 -
Put the pitcher in the fridge, covered, until you’re ready to enjoy. Serve cold and fancy it up with raspberries, peach slices, or mint if you’d like.
