Servings: 4 servings
Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 4 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2-3 lemons)
- 1/4 cup rose water
- 1/2 cup honey or your favorite sweetener
- 4 cups cold water
- Ice cubes
- Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Instructions
- In a blender, combine the sliced peaches and honey. Blend until smooth, relishing the sweet and fragrant aroma of fresh peaches.
- Pour the peach mixture through a fine sieve into a large pitcher, pressing the pulp to extract as much juice as possible.
- Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and rose water to the pitcher, stirring well to mix. The floral scent of rose water will subtly intertwine with the tangy aroma of lemons.
- Gradually add the cold water, stirring continuously until the mixture is well combined. Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more honey if desired.
- Fill serving glasses with ice cubes and pour the Peach Rose Lemonade over the ice.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves and peach slices for a delightful presentation.

- Serve in a chilled glass for extra refreshment, perfect for a hot summer day.
Storage and Substitutions
- Refrigerate any leftover Peach Rose Lemonade in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Substitute honey with agave syrup or maple syrup for a different sweetener option.
- If rose water is unavailable, a splash of orange blossom water can provide a lovely, subtle floral touch.
