Prep Time:15 minutes
chilling:2 hours
Total Time:2 hours 15 minutes

Equipment

  • strainer
  • Pitcher
  • saucepan

Ingredients

For the Peach Raspberry Syrup

  • 1 cup sliced peaches about 2 medium peaches
  • 1 cup raspberries fresh or frozen
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup water

To Assemble

  • 2 cups lemon juice fresh, bottled, or a combination
  • 3 cups cold water

Garnish

  • lemon slices
  • fresh mint leaves
  • whole raspberries

Instructions

  • Make the fruit syrup. Add the peaches, raspberries, sugar, and water to a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 7-10 minutes, until the raspberries break down and the peaches are very soft.
  • Strain and chill. Using a mesh strainer, strain out the solid fruit bits. Press with a wooden spoon to get all the syrup out. Don't press too hard or you'll have fruit bits in your lemonade.
  • Assemble the lemonade. Pour the syrup into a pitcher and add the lemon and water. Stir well.
  • Serve. Pour over ice and garnish with additional fruit, lemon slices, and fresh mint.

Notes

This is delicious with blackberries too: just increase the sugar to 1 1/4 cups.
