Start by washing 4-5 ripe peaches under cool running water, removing any dirt or residue. Slice the peaches into wedges, discarding the pits, and set aside. Next, roll 2-3 fresh lemons on the counter to maximize juice extraction, then cut them in half and juice them, collecting the sour goodness in a small bowl.

In a blender, combine the sliced peaches, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and ½ to ¾ cup of sugar, depending on your preference for sweetness. Blend the mixture on high for about 30-45 seconds, until you have a smooth and vibrant peach puree.

Pour the blended peach puree through a fine mesh strainer set over a large pitcher. Use a spatula to press down on the pulp, extracting every bit of juice while discarding the skins and any leftover solids.

Add about 4 cups of chilled filtered water into the pitcher with the strained peach mixture. Stir well to combine, tasting along the way to adjust the dilution to your liking.

Pour the Refreshing Peach Lemonade into glasses filled with ice. For a lovely presentation, garnish each glass with a slice of lemon or sprigs of fresh mint.
