Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups fresh peaches about 6 peaches, peeled and pitted
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon zest about 2 lemons
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 cups cold water divided
  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice about 4-5 lemons
  • Ice optional
For garnishing:
  • lemon slices for garnish
  • fresh peach slices for garnish
  • fresh mint for garnish

Method
 

  1. In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, combine peaches, lemon zest, vanilla extract, sugar, and 2 cups of cold water. Ensure the mixture does not boil; reduce the heat as needed.

  3. Mash the softened peaches with a masher or a wooden spoon until well mashed.
  4. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the peach mixture cool completely in the refrigerator for about 2 hours to allow the flavors to infuse.
  5. Once cooled, strain the peach mixture through a fine mesh strainer, discarding the solids (or reserve for another recipe if desired).
