Notes

  • Adjust sweetness and tartness levels to taste by varying the citrus to syrup ratio.
  • Experiment with different liquids like water, sparkling water, soda, or coconut water.
  • Explore various uses for leftover peach syrup and solids for added flavor.
  • Use ripe, in-season peaches for the best taste or opt for frozen peaches when out of season.
  • Create peach slushies by blending peach syrup, lemon juice, water, and ice in a blender.
  • For vibrant color, use peaches with red skin and keep the skin on during syrup preparation.
  • Turn leftover peach lemonade into popsicles by freezing in molds with fresh berries.
