Easy Peach Limeade
 
Prep time
Total time
 
To make sure that you don't lose any of the precious peach juice, my instructions say to smush the peaches right into the limeade. Make sure your hands are clean!
Serves: 4 (3½ cups)
Ingredients
  • ½ cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
  • ¾ cup freshly squeezed lime juice (from 8 limes)
  • 2¾ cups water
  • 2 ripe peaches, pitted and quartered
Instructions
  1. In a pitcher or a quart-sized jar, combine the sugar, lime, and water. Stir very well to dissolve the sugar. Add the peaches.
  2. Now reach your (clean) hand into the pitcher and grab hold of a peach quarter. Smush it til it's pulpy--really, right in the pitcher! Wild, I know. Repeat with the rest of the peach quarters. Shake off your hand and cover the pitcher or jar.
  3. Place the pitcher in the fridge and leave for at least 3 hours and up to 12. Your limeade will grow peachier the longer you let it sit.
  4. Strain the limeade through a fine mesh strainer, pressing on the solids to extract all the peach flavor.
  5. Serve in small glasses, over ice.
