How to Make Peach Lemonade
This homemade peach lemonade starts with fresh peaches blended into a simple fruit puree and mixed with fresh lemon juice for the ultimate refreshing summer drink.

Instructions
Add the sliced peaches and 1 cup of water to a blender and blend until smooth.

Stir well until the sugar completely dissolves.
