4 to 5 ripe peaches, washed, pitted, sliced
→ Herbs

15 millilitres fresh mint leaves, plus extra for garnish
# Steps:
01 -
Chill homemade or store-bought lemonade according to package directions or your preferred method, then set aside.

Wash peaches properly, remove pits, and slice. Reserve one quarter of the peach slices for later garnishing.

In a blender, combine the remaining peach slices, 250 millilitres of prepared lemonade, and 15 millilitres fresh mint leaves. Blend until completely smooth. For a silky texture, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve.

Pour over ice into chilled glasses. Garnish with additional fresh mint leaves and peach slices as desired before serving.
# Additional Notes:

02 -
For best results, chill both the lemonade and the glasses. Add ice just before serving to prevent excessive dilution.
