Ingredients
¾ cup honey 🍯
5 cups water (divided) 💧
3 heaping cups chopped peaches (from 4–5 medium peaches) 🍑
1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (from 5–6 lemons) 🍋
Sliced peaches and/or lemon wheels, for garnish 🍑🍋
Instructions
Make a honey simple syrup. In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the honey and 1 cup of water. Stir to dissolve the honey, then lower heat to medium. 🍯🔥
Stew the peaches. Add the chopped peaches and bring to a simmer. Simmer the peaches for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally and mashing with the back of a wooden spoon to release their juices as they cook down. 🍑🍵
Cool. After 10 minutes, remove the pan from the heat and let it cool to room temperature, then strain the mixture through a mesh strainer into a mixing glass. ❄️🕒
Mix and serve. In a large pitcher, combine the cooled peach honey syrup, lemon juice, and remaining water (4 cups to make 8 drinks). Stir gently to combine. Serve with sliced peaches and lemon wheels over ice-filled glasses.
