Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Wash, pit, and dice the peaches. Combine with sugar and water in a saucepan, heat over medium-low for 10-15 minutes.
  2. Remove from heat and cool slightly. Mash peaches until smooth, strain to extract puree, and let cool completely.
  3. Combine sugar and water in a small saucepan. Simmer until sugar is dissolved, around 2-3 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
  4. Juice lemons to get 1 cup of juice, strain, and mix with simple syrup in a large pitcher.
  5. Fold cooled peach puree into the lemonade base, then stir in cold water to achieve desired strength.
  6. Chill for at least 30 minutes. Serve over ice and garnish with peach slices, lemon wheels, and mint sprigs.
