Notes
- Choosing peaches: Use ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor. They should be slightly soft to the touch and fragrant.
- Adjusting sweetness: Taste the lemonade after mixing and adjust the sweetness by adding more peach syrup or water, depending on your preference.
- Lemon juice: Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best taste. Bottled lemon juice can be used in a pinch, but fresh lemons provide a better flavor in my opinion.
