Notes
Use ripe, fragrant peaches for the best flavor. You can substitute frozen fruits if fresh are unavailable. Adjust the sweetness and tartness to your preference after mixing the lemonade. Try adding fresh herbs to the simple syrup for a different flavor profile or incorporating sparkling water for a fizzy version. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator; it will stay fresh for up to 3 days. If separation occurs, simply stir before serving. Enjoy the fresh, homemade taste of summer!
