Instructions

Combine Ingredients: In a high-powered blender, add the frozen peach slices, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and water.
Add Sweetener: Pour in the granulated sugar (start with ½ cup) and honey or agave nectar if using.
Blend: Blend until completely smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. If the mixture is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time; if too thin, add more frozen peach slices.
Taste and Adjust: Taste the lemonade and adjust sweetness and tartness as desired by adding more sugar, honey, or lemon juice.
(Optional) Strain: For an extra smooth texture, strain the lemonade through a fine-mesh sieve.
(Optional) Re-blend with Ice: To achieve an even smoother and frostier texture, re-blend the lemonade with a handful of ice, being careful not to add too much to avoid a watery consistency.
Serve: Chill glasses in the freezer for 15-20 minutes, then pour the lemonade into the chilled glasses. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs and lemon slices and serve immediately.

Notes

Adjust sweetness by adding more or less sugar, honey, or agave nectar to suit your taste.
If you prefer a smoother drink, the optional straining step helps remove any pulp or ice bits.
Freezing the serving glasses enhances the chilling effect and presentation.
Use fresh lemons for the best flavor; bottled lemon juice may not provide the same brightness.
For a thinner consistency, add more water; for a thicker consistency, add more frozen peaches or ice.
