# Ingredients:
→ Base
01 -
2 litres prepared lemonade (homemade or store-bought)
→ Fruit
02 -
4–5 ripe peaches, washed, pitted, and sliced
→ Herbs
03 -
15 millilitres fresh mint leaves, plus extra for garnish
# Instructions:
01 -
Mix homemade or pre-made lemonade according to package or recipe instructions. Refrigerate or set aside.
02 -
Wash peaches thoroughly, remove the pits, and slice. Reserve one quarter of the slices for garnish and pitcher decoration.
03 -
Combine remaining peach slices, 250 millilitres of prepared lemonade, and 15 millilitres fresh mint in a blender. Purée until completely smooth. For a refined texture, strain through a fine mesh sieve.
04 -
Pour the peach-mint mixture into a large pitcher. Add the rest of the lemonade and stir well to combine. Add the reserved peach slices and thin lemon slices to the pitcher.
05 -
Serve over ice in chilled glasses. Garnish each glass with additional mint leaves and peach slices as desired.

For optimal flavor, use fully ripe peaches and fresh mint leaves. Straining the purée ensures a smooth, pulp-free lemonade.
02 -
Add ice to the pitcher or pour the beverage over ice in individual glasses to prevent dilution.
