Start by creating your lemonade base. In a large pitcher, combine 8 cups of water with 1 to 1.5 cups of sugar, stirring thoroughly until the sugar dissolves completely.

Wash and slice 4 to 5 ripe peaches, removing the pits. Set aside a few slices for garnishing.

In a blender, combine the majority of the sliced peaches with 1 cup of your prepared lemonade. Blend until smooth.

Pour the blended peach mixture back into your pitcher with the remaining lemonade and stir gently to combine.

Add the reserved peach slices and a few lemon slices to the pitcher.

Fill tall glasses with ice and pour your peach lemonade over the top, garnishing each glass with mint leaves.
