Instructions

Combine Ingredients: In a high-powered blender, add the frozen peach slices, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and water to create the base mixture.
Add Sweetener: Pour in the granulated sugar and, if using, the honey or agave nectar to enhance the sweetness according to your preference.
Blend: Blend all ingredients until completely smooth. Stop periodically to scrape down the sides for even blending. If the texture is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time; if too thin, add more frozen peach slices.
Taste and Adjust: Sample the lemonade and adjust the sweetness or tartness by adding more sugar, honey, or lemon juice as desired for the perfect flavor balance.
(Optional) Strain: For an extra smooth texture, strain the lemonade through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any pulp or fibrous bits.
(Optional) Re-blend with Ice: To achieve a smoother and colder consistency, re-blend with a handful of ice, being careful not to add too much to avoid diluting the flavor.
Serve: Chill glasses in the freezer for 15-20 minutes before pouring in the lemonade. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs and lemon slices, then serve immediately for a refreshing summer drink.

Notes

Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more or less sugar or natural sweeteners like honey or agave nectar.
Use ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor if you want to substitute fresh peaches and freeze them yourself.
Chilling the glasses enhances the cooling effect and presentation.
Straining is optional but recommended for a silky smooth lemonade without pulp.
Re-blending with ice can help achieve a slushy texture but avoid overdoing it to prevent watery results.
This recipe serves 4 and can be easily doubled for larger gatherings.
