Recipe Tips

Pick the best peaches: Go for peaches that are soft, juicy, and smell sweet—those are the ones packed with the most flavor.

Sweeten it your way: Give it a taste and add more peach syrup if you like it sweeter, or a splash of water if it’s too strong. It’s easy to make it just right.

Fresh is best: Fresh-squeezed lemon juice gives the lemonade that bright, zesty kick. Bottled works in a pinch, but nothing beats the real thing.
