Homemade Peach Lemonade Tips

  • For the best color use the reddest skin peaches.
  • Feel free to use a mixture of orange flesh peaches and white peaches.
  • Don’t discard the peaches – save them and eat them for breakfast (great with yogurt or pancakes) or dessert.
  • Use fresh lemon juice – the best results come from freshly-squeezed lemon juice. Juice that has been pre squeezed is not as good.
  • Pulp or no pulp. Up to you, strain the lemon pulp out or leave it in if you like your lemonade with bits.
  • Add water as needed – if serving with lots and lots of ice then make the lemonade a little sweeter. If serving with no ice then make the lemonade less sweet.

Recipe Variations

This homemade lemonade is immensely adaptable. There are virtually limitless ways you can adapt and vary the flavors to suit your tastes and mood. Swap or add in

  • Add berries – add berries like strawberry, raspberries, or blueberries along with the peaches when making the syrup.
  • Make a sparkling peach lemonade – add soda water instead of tap water to make a sparkling lemonade for a fun twist.
  • Add herbs – cook up the peach syrup with some mint or basil for a herb lemonade.
  • Add spices – add in vanilla, cloves, allspice, and ginger into the syrup as you are cooking it.
