Ingredients
1 cup white sugar
7 cups water, divided
1 ¼ cups freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 fresh peaches, peeled and pitted
sliced peaches for garnish
ice as needed
Directions
Place sugar in a saucepan. Pour in 1 cup water. Turn heat to medium and stir continuously until sugar granules are dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool.
Pour lemon juice into a pitcher. Pour in remaining 6 cups water.
Place pitted peaches into a Vitamix® blender. Blend until smooth. Pour peach purée into the pitcher along with the simple syrup (dissolved sugar in saucepan). Stir to combine.
Adjust to taste. Add garnish such as a slice of peach, ice, and serve.
Cook's Notes:
Make sure to strain out any pulp and seeds from the freshly squeezed lemon juice before using.
If you do not have a Vitamix® you will need to use some of the reserved water when blending the peaches
