FOR THE SIMPLE SYRUP
1 cup water
3/4 cup sugar
2–3 mint leaves
FOR THE LEMONADE
2 peaches (sliced,)
1–2 tablespoons water
1 cup fresh lemon juice
1 cucumber (sliced)
3/4 cup sparkling water
Mint
Begin by making the simple syrup. In a small pot add the water, sugar, and mint leaves. Bring to a boil, then cook for a couple minutes until sugar dissolves, stirring often. Remove from heat and set aside to let cool. In a blender, add almost all the peaches (leave a handful out for garnish) and water and blend until smooth. Strain peach puree to remove any large chunks. In a pitcher, add the simple syrup, lemon juice, and peach puree. Stir to combine. Add sliced peaches, cucumber and 5-6 mint leaves. Store in fridge until ready to serve. Just before serving add the sparkling water and serve over ice!
