✅ 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (optional, for natural sweetness)

Instructions
1️⃣ Blend the Fruit: In a blender or food processor, combine sliced peaches, raspberries, and 1 cup of water. Blend until smooth.
2️⃣ Strain the Puree: Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl or pitcher to remove seeds and pulp. Use a spoon to press out the juice.
3️⃣ Juice the Lemons: Squeeze ¾ cup of fresh lemon juice into a pitcher.
4️⃣ Dissolve the Sugar: In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of water and sugar over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Let cool slightly.
5️⃣ Mix Everything: In a large pitcher, combine the strained peach raspberry puree, lemon juice, sugar water, and the remaining 2 cups of water. Stir well.
6️⃣ Chill & Serve: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, then serve over ice.
7️⃣ Garnish: Add mint leaves, lemon slices, peach slices, or raspberries for extra flavor.
Notes
- Use Fresh, Ripe Fruit: The sweeter the peaches, the better the flavor.
- Adjust Sweetness: Add more sugar or honey if needed, or reduce sugar for a less sweet version.
- For a Fizzy Version: Mix in club soda or sparkling water before serving.
- Make-Ahead Tip: Store the fruit puree separately and mix fresh lemonade when ready to serve.
