Peach Mint Lemonade

Peach Mint Lemonade

Ingredients

Serves 8

3 peaches (it doesn’t matter how big as long as they are ripe and sweet)*

1 cup brown sugar (I used coconut sugar)

1 cup water

½ cup fresh mint leaves, plus extra to serve

½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

4 cups cold water

*I used donut peaches

Directions

Pit and dice the peaches and transfer them to a medium saucepan.

Add sugar and water and bring to a boil. Lower to a simmer and cook for 8 minutes, until the sugar is dissolved and the peaches start to soften.

Remove from the heat, stir in fresh mint, cover with a lid, and let steep for at least 1 hour, until cool.

Strain mixture through a fine sieve into a large bowl, pressing to release as much liquid as possible. Discard solids.

Add lemon juice and water, stir to combine.

Strain it into a large pitcher and refrigerate (if you like your lemonade with the lemon pulp don’t strain it.)

When ready to serve, pour into ice filled glasses garnished with a couple of lemon slices and mint leaves.
