Notes
Use the ripest, most fragrant peaches you can find for the deepest and most natural peach flavor.
Raw honey adds a floral complexity that regular sugar simply cannot replicate in this recipe.
Frozen peach slices work perfectly here and are an excellent option outside of peach season.
Strain the peach puree thoroughly for the most refined and smooth lemonade texture.
Store in the fridge for up to 2 days — stir well before serving as natural separation occurs.
